I remember reading a National Geographic article on this
(can't find it now though). Anyway, I'm pretty sure that
they can go as deep as 2 km.

Why Radar instead of Sonar? And, it's a whole lot easier
to wire-guide the torpedo to the target that's been
identified by the system (and cheaper, you don't waste
money on a guidance system in the torpedo itself).

And, I'm not sure though, ultra sound has pretty piss poor
range underwater (or maybe short range resolution).
