Oh, thats the Seawolf with a shortlived, experimental sensor. Perhaps an early American version of the Russian SOKS system. They called it an "Hall Effect" ELF sensor.Last edited by greenman407; 11-09-2013, 09:39 AM.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

You were Hoping........yeah, I know you. Ha! Your funny sir! I was thinking it reminds me of a Giant rectal thermometer. Maybe the Naval research boys wanted to take the temperature of a Sperm Whale or a Giant Squid........(pause for effect)...... It could happen.Last edited by greenman407; 11-09-2013, 02:51 PM.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Its basiclly a a MAD boom. Magnetic anomaly detector. ELF is the correct nomanclature, but its the same thing on the P3s and S3 aircraft as well as others. It was an experiment in 1963. There were a few operational glitches and was dropped. The fiberglass unit was subject to bad weather dammage and close quarter manuvering. Evidently, they broke it a couple times. They should have made it retractable like on the S2 and S3 which are carrier based aircraft and had to be retracted to clear the deck when at a hi angle of attack, during landings. On the other hand it could be a giant Q tip to clean out other subs torpedo tubes. That would have been the original Navy cover story back then.Last edited by Von Hilde; 11-10-2013, 06:57 AM.Comment
