Pardon me for asking but why do they need to go to all the trouble and expense and complications of having so many tubes. Wont one suffice? Your only going to drop one at at time anyway..........right?

Nope, they drop an array. Think: 3D triangulation.

they deploy several applications of buoys, sensors, and other things not ASW related. Multiple Sonobuoys are deployed in a large pattern around the target"s location. Those tubes also drop sensors over land, containers for spec ops, and numorous other things. I was aboard a P3 when we dropped box lunches and a sonobuoy cotainer full of Playboys and Hustlers to a Soviet Missile tracking vessel, disguised as a trawler. It was operating in the central Pasific and had rondezvous with a sub. The VP ready crew out of Barbers Pt was launched. By the time we arrived on station the sub had bugged out but we stayed on station for several hours and made low level passes for the photo op. Everybody was on deck waiving so the PPO decided to tell the AO to arrange a Care package for those poor *******s. He stuffed one of the Plastic tubes the buoys are stowed in and dropped it out one of the aft tubes which are a larger diameter for other aplications besides the Sonobuoy.Comment

I dont have any real details, just that it was a painting competition for the Austrailian sub force. I was hoping more details would come out.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

standard allied "Dazzel" splinter cammo from early WWII, not seen on subs much. later in the war they found that just blacking out everything was more effective I was refering to the " Hollywood Guppy" with the bolt on wintergarden and cardboard net cutter, not the Aussie.Last edited by Von Hilde; 09-06-2012, 05:44 AM.Comment
