Who can tell us what ,when and where?

Radar, Submarine Picket Ship. Radar is stowed. Early Cold War. NATO "Whiskey Canvas Bag" designation.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Nope. ECHO. Cruise-missile guidance-control antennas. In 'deployed' position (leading edge of sail rotated 180 degrees).

Oh, hell, just peeked over at the SubCommittee site (currently in 'care-taker' mode) and got reminded that the shot is the radar unit of the similar (shorter and fatter) JULIET diesel SSG. ****!

Damn you, Mark!

Yes, Agree with Dave, ECHO, Guidance radar, in Providence Rhode Island approximately 3 years ago seeing as this museum ship sunk due to weather about 2 years ago, was raised by US Navy salvage divers last year, and is currently being broken up and s****ped about a half mile down river from that shot.

Alright now, no cheating and looking over at the Subcommittee! One guy over there got mad at me for posting this over there at " HIS" site.Whatever shall we do but post it again over here. What is it?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Well, that's Lady Liberty in the background. So this is Sullenberger's ride, as it was left tied up to a pier for the over-night before a proper salvage job could be performed.

160,000 pound, very expensive, semi-watertight, metal, well flown, glider. Only one water-landing. Both engines need some work. Cheap.

The funny part is when I saw the first picture in my Google submarine search I thought it must be a new X tail or something. After searching the website that generated the picture I found this expanded picture which answers all the questions. Im a slow study you understand.

A little further on the Radar dish sub, here are a few Julliet pictures showing the sail antenna door closed. And open.

If you want to know about one of Tautog's "CLOSE" encounters with an ECHO II read about it in "Blind Man's Bluff"

Also I did one on a gift that I recieved from a friend that turned out to be an integral part of the Julliet fire control system.http://s181686668.onlinehome.us/phpB...hp?f=4&t=10096

639mpa, Great link, Thanks. I have read "Blind Mans Bluff" and I do remember the account. However I also read that years later the captain of the supposed sunken Echo surfaced and denied any major damage. Who knows.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

No big deal. It's synchro-motor. used in repeaters and remote analog displays. It works off phase-shift from relatively high-frequency control inputs. USN used 400 kHz gear, don't know about the Commie's. You see a lot of those used in old ballistics computers.

Cool! Whats its purpose? It can only rotate a few degrees to the right and a few degrees to the left, but it doesnt through a switch or anything its just there.
