sea floor may have just change after the earthquake

The sub still has sonar, changed seafloor or no.

A submarine, while trying to remain hidden or following another submarine, will NOT use active sonar.

Sounds like SINS(Ships Inertial Navigation System) was in error......Bottom sounding sonar should have been manned or at least put on auto and set to alarm....some splainin' to do by the navigator and chief quartermaster.

you cant ping active sonar all day, though, that would tell everyone where you were

They would be running on the charts for bearing

Do attack subs (or any subs) constantly use their sonar? It seems to me that it would give away their location.

Well, are you saying they may have heard the changes occur, then? ;0)

Active pinging into the base approach may be a no-no...
