Working Procedure:
A sonobuoy is deployed and monitored until it is out of range. The length of time the sonobuoy can be heard depends on the speed of the ship, the sonobuoy's direction relative to the ship and the prevailing sea, ice and weather conditions. When a whale is heard, an attempt is made to identify the species and note it. If a seal is heard, it is just noted as a seal. The sonobuoy was set to scuttle after 8 hours.
