Fishing vessel may have been drifting and would be tough to hear. If the water is real choppy you can get so much surface clutter that a small boat is difficult to hear. You also have a blind area to your rear without the towed array out, which it wouldn't have been, that if you don't clear your baffles you may not hear a ship behind you.

Submarines have radar, albeit not real good radar, but you need to be on the surface to use it.

There are a lot of things that could have happened here but I can promise you that this will come down to the OOD and the CO. Human error, no doubt about it.
