A submarine tracking another submarine can take advantage of its target's baffles to follow at a close distance without being detected. Periodically, a submarine will perform a maneuver called clearing the baffles, in which the boat will turn left or right far enough to listen with the forward array sonar for a few minutes in the area that was previously blocked by the baffles.

Submarine navigation underwater requires special skills and technologies not needed by surface ships. The challenges of underwater navigation have become more important as submarines spend more time underwater, travelling greater distances and at higher speed.
It was also used by U.S. Navy nuclear submarines to clear their sonar dead zones. [5] The Williamson turn is the most preferred maneuver by navigating officers onboard ship as it can be used in any condition of visibility and weather. The suitability of the turn depends on the situation:

However, the crash dive is also a standard maneuver to avoid a collision.
