A Very interesting Sturgeon class submarine. The Richard B. Russell started out life just like any other Sturgeon only to be chosen for a special mission. To perfect the DSRV rescue mission. She was in service from 1975 until 1994. Early on she recieved a unique modifacation and that is what caught my eye. A housing was installed just behind the sail to house a tethered antenna buoy. It was not repeated on any other boats. But it recieved the nickname "Russell Bustle" in honor of its unique bump. What I dont know is what is the purpose of the housing(bump) way back on the stern. Maybe you guys can fill me in.

PUFF sonarMake it simple, make strong, make it work! -
Perhaps but all the puffs that I ever saw were three smaller units placed up and down the length of the sub. This is one big fat one. Perhaps........perhapsIT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment
