And non-present day submarines too. I just watched the 3 1/2 hour, director's cut version of Das Boot and feel like I've actually been in a U-Boat. If you've never seen the movie, rent it.

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.
