Is it possible that they were being environmentally sensitive and not using their best sonar to avoid offending the sea people.

I think a more likely scenario was that the Brits were hammered and the French were fornicating with themselves - sorry all Brits.

No boomers don't use active sonar. IOW, they don't transmit. Might as well surface and start a fire in a barrel on the deck.
