How does that work? How can an aircraft pick up faint underwater sounds??

The pic below shows sonobuoy's being loaded or unloaded from a SH-60. There a number of different types, both active and passive...meaning one pings to get data, the other just listens.
We could carry 25.
This aircraft, a P-8, carries a bunch more. I bet they were all over this, as were the Canadian's.
The sonobuoy's are in RF comms with the aircraft, the data can be shared by multiple aircraft once the buoy is deployed.
