The other way would have been for Emeraude to weight down the tail end of the towed array and to cruise much much slower.
The TPLs I was referring to were towed by USN surface vessels, whereas L'Emeraude was using her Sonar Dome detection system which was optimized to 37.5kHz post 01 July. There was a strict control system set up in Brest to ensure that there were no conflicts with the Emeraude and the surface vessel's towed gear.
