Subs dont run around pinging on ACTIVE sonar. Passive Sonar cannot detect stationary objects. The only time active sonar is actively used is when you are under ice, and that is a special low range 3D sonar. ACTIVE SONAR gives off a ping which reveals a subs location

All that stuff is understandable. I've Just been in a pissy mood all day long. I got my motor back yesterday, thats a good thing. The bad thing is that i've got 2 disassembled engines and 2 boxes of parts that i've had to rearrange my "car stuff closet" for.
