There are submarines that are so quiet that the blind spot does not apply. The noise is low enough that passive sonar could work. There are conventional subs that are extremely stealthy.
No there are not shogun, that is a fact. Every submarine and ship has that exact same problem. It's like a jet fighter, if an enemy fighter jet is underneath and behind you there is no way you can see him visually because the engine and hull are in the way.
There is no submarine that does not have the blind spot. It's a universal trait.
And passive arrays are not always effective depending on which submarines. Some submarines can use them well up to 15 knots, others cannot really use them above 7 because of water moving over the hull.
The coast of Korea was filled with ships, the Commandant ordered,
"Tankers, fly to South Korean airbases, the rest head for the border of North Korea and South Korea,"
Tankers then split off over airspace protected by the allied forces.
The Commandant then ordered,
"Assume Spearhead formation!"
The aircraft then moved into Spearhead formation, with fighters in front, followed by fighter-bombers, attack planes, bombers, then support aircraft.

It could be countered by using very slow motion or no movement at all, thus less noise and possibility for passive sonar to detect the target.
No it cant. Shogun this is a fundamental fact. No sonar can see beyond that 30 degree angle. They dont even have passive arrays back there. They have passive arrays on the cylinder of the submarine and on the cone, sometimes even the cylinder of the sub is split in half so there are three arrays. But no submarine has or ever will have a sonar array on the rear 30 degree angle of the ship. It is a fundamental fact.
Out of game: I also looked it up, and you were right, I was wrong, my bad, sorry. I thought it could, because ships can. Another blind spot is pockets of warm and cold water.
By now it was nighttime.

"surface the ship aye sir"
"raise the ESM antennae, photonic mast, and radio mast."-Dimitri
"aye sir"
I went topside along with two of the other officers. Some fresh air at last. I looked off into the horizon and could still see the orange glow from the burning oil of the Zuikaku II.
We could even smell the smoke.
"you smell that? what is that" a new ensign that joined the crew just before they had left Russia.
"It smells... it smells like victory"-I said calmly

np, usually warm and cold water pockets are more of a distortion than a blind spot. The amount of distortion usually depends on the size and temperature difference of the pocket.
There is also a boundary between shallow and deepwater, its usually only a dozen or so feet wide and it's different at different locations depending on depth, temperature, etc... But usually sonar above the boundary has an extremely dificult time detecting a sub below.
