Active sonar(the kind that kills) is only used in the attack phase. After the threat is found. Before that it is useless.

  Active sonar is worse than useless, when not in attack mode, because its source can be traced.

    Uhm surface ships, Carrier Battle groups are not trying to hide.
    Submarines on the other hand, are trying to hide, that's why their under the water, that's why making them ultra quiet is the goal.
    That why surface ships need to use "Active Sonar" to locate them.
