Comment As a former Sonar Technician (Score 1) 374

We went active one time against a real target in over 3 years. This was against a US Sub that we had visual on as we both left Norfolk at the same time and we pinged the hell out of them to bother them.

Other than that, we only went active in port during maintenance, or underway at night when we were bored on the mid-watch and wanted to wake the ship up.

Our real combat training was all accomplished via a computer simulator, no active transmission was required... This was good because the system was broken most of the time anyway. It was painted though, the captain was adamant about that.
