Sorry for the late reply - been busy. Without going into things I can't, let me refine my original answer.

In terms of today's subs, it's possible. In terms of CW era subs, possible, but difficult. It could be done, but passive sonar would be a far better tool to make use of.

Also, in reply to the comment about Signal Strength being an indicator of range, I know a few people who have been involved in collisions who would argue against that.
