How does dolphin sonar work?

Dolphins Resource Center - Dolphins FAQs
Dolphins (and other toothed whales) can produce high pitched clicks. When these clicks hit an object, some of the sound will echo back to the "sender". By listening to the echo and interpreting the time it took before the echo came back, the dolphin estimate the distance of the object. (That's why sonar is also called echolocation: with information from the echoes, a dolphin can locate an object).

How does sonar work?

fish finder information, fishfinder discounts
In the simplest terms, an electrical impulse from a transmitter is converted into a sound wave by the transducer and sent into the water. When this wave strikes an object, it rebounds. This echo strikes the transducer, which converts it back into an electric signal, which is amplified by the receiver and sent to the display.

Question] Had he heard about the echo nullifier for use against sonar? How does it work?

USS Indianapolis: Interrogation of CDR Hashimoto, CO of I-58
Answer] Hashimoto had rubber-coating on his sub against sonar and radar, considering it effective. The conning-tower and most of the hull to well below the water line were covered and experts considered the rubber-coating 30% effective. However, as much as one-third would come off on patrol. The rubber contained powdered iron. (Similar to the "Wesch" coating on the German Schnorkel).

Who is Dolphin?

The Aquaman FAQ v. 3.0
Dolphin originally was a mysterious underwater dweller who didn't say much. Then PAD got ahold of her. She followed Aquaman around for much of his series (and we later learn that she was under a compulsion to kill him, but resisted a LONG time). They were lovers for a bit. Then she got scared of him when he turned a little monster-y and she fell for Garth. Then Larsen got her pregnant (he should've used protection).
