    I actually had this concern in an earlier comment… it’s very likely that militaries may already have the capabilities needed but can’t (and probably shouldn’t) disclose them.

    It’s the tradeoff between 5 civilians and potentially hundreds or thousands of sailors in wartime.

    This has happened before - US Navy was able to pinpoint the exact location of soviet K-129 shipwreck using recordings from spy hydrophone array after they observed search and rescue efforts from soviet navy. It was laying hundreds of kilometers away. [1]
