mine hunting sonar?

Seems to be a "modern" Hunley...:wink::wink::wink:

Nothing explosive on the pole, though. And this one seems to have had a much longer and more successful career--albeit without the protuberance...

Perfect. Thanks.

SSBN659: I need a copy of that shot that shows the MSW suction and discharge -- I'm working on a model and I want to get the main induction screen right.

Going back to the picture of the boat on dock with the towed array tube on the starboard side. It's the Casimir Pulaski. I used that photo to model the towed array when building my USS Will Rogers last year. I also used the photo below to "guestimate" the location, size and down angle of the explosively deployed evasive device launchers. There is a wealth of good information on the web for the "Forty-one Fro Freedom".

... and I learned (yet again, I NEVER learn) not to make absolute statements until I check my at-hand resources.

Good fun.

Okay Dave,

I am gonna concede on this reason here. Upon further investigation of the above photo, the water line draft markings on the rudder are too far aft to be a 688. You are correct in your statements, and I did enjoy the healthy debate and the research involved. This is what keeps things lively. This former IC man now Nav ET (gaggg) can still be taught new tricks!

I stand corrected on the 688 zincs -- you're right there, they had 'em. Should have looked at my drawings before spouting off about that.

However, the picture above is a Boomer.

I was one of the two Boat Diver's on the Webster Blue crew. Security swims means working the stern, so I know the territory. That thin-wire fairing leading from hull to horizontal stabilizer on the port side is like the one on the Webster (616 class). That's an S5W wheel back there, not a 688 prop.

Your move.
