Works well in theory, and that is how the vast majority of Naval combat training is done. However, I can tell you from direct experience. The real thing and computer simulations are truly worlds apart.
The approval that the Navy got was for 11 planned exercises..11, that's it. So it's not like they're going to be out there 365 days a year with the sonar bangin' away. Heck most of the time the sonar is used in a passive "listening" mode anyway. The only time you use active sonar is for target verification before launching a weapon. And yes the guys do need practice doing this, in as real as a situation that can be provided. It's what will keep them and a lot of other people alive if the real thing ever happened to them..
