Are there Passive and Active sonar for sale that could fit into our subs ? Any links or sites worth mentioning ?

Wow, I can finally add value. Passive sonar (simply put) is listing to
the sounds around you without doing any noise making of your own.
Active sonar is generating a sound then listening to the echo from
objects near you. Active sonar is what you get in the movies. That
"ping" noise. The active sonar I was used to (x-navy here) does not
usually sound like the classic "ping".
