Ah! There you are!

Russian submarine hit Royal Navy warship ['s towed array sonar] in North Atlantic

A Russian submarine collided with a Royal Navy warship on patrol in the North Atlantic, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has confirmed. HMS Northumberland had been tracking the submarine when it hit the ship's sonar - a piece of equipment being trailed hundreds of metres behind it

HMS Northumberland was searching for the submarine in the Arctic Circle after it disappeared from the ship's radar, according to Channel 5, which was filming for its Warship: Life at Sea series. The MOD said the frigate had located the hunter-killer submarine using the towed array sonar - a long tube fitted with sensitive hydrophones to listen under the water.
