Fragrag posted:Sunk ships related, I got recommended this YouTube channel where a former USN sonar operator analyses audio clips. I am just a simple civvie so I have no idea whether he is talking bullshit but he seems convincing and watches out for eventual OPSEC violations. The secret stuff about sonar is more about frequency response and the sound pressure levels needed to get a usable signal.

Another video from this guy that is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyXCeoKj4zQ Some explanations that he didn't go in to ; Test depth for a submarine is the mathematical depth a submarine can go to and be able to use the emergency blow system (by itself) and reach the surface. Crush depth is typically much deeper but the system will not work on it's own. The normal way a submarine changes depth is via propulsion and using the stern planes. With that they can escape from below test depth. So, loss of propulsion + below test depth = you're a new deep reef. The freezing in the emergency blow system he talks about was caused because the high pressure air system that was used at the time did not remove moisture from the air being compressed. The pipes froze due to this. Loss of the Thresher is what lead to the SUBSAFE program which changed a metric fuckload of things that contributed to the loss of that submarine. The program was still being retrofitted into the subs when the Scorpion was lost. It was due for the overhaul after it came in if I remember correctly. edit : in the navy thread i said the navy never changes unless 100+ people die, this is an example of that being true. all of the flaws were known before hand.

Found a cool thing when looking for a steam suit picture. http://www.ssbn657.com/pastpicofweek.htm Lots of pics and stories to go with them. A sample.  quote:Head over Heels: This picture was probably taken in 1978 by the Key Gold Crew during a midshipman tour after the first Trident launch. It was among a collection of 50 slides that were almost destroyed during the second Key overhaul but saved by Yeoman Jeff Buss who saved them from the dumpster in 1984. The headless person on the right is probably a midshipman. We don't know yet who is the Key shipmate in the torpedo tube. Let's just hope it is only one person, else it's two very, very friendly shipmates. If you know who it is, then drop us an e-mail  quote:This very yellow brittle piece of paper was taken by me from the crew's mess in the early 70's. Each day the radiomen would put out a bunch of teletype news stories. They were often as unreadable as this one. My father had asked me how we kept in touch with what was going on in the world. I brought back this sample to show him. It makes the DaVinci Code look simple. Reading the news often turned into a cryptogram game. I hope this brings back some memories and xfgtyyyht rsomerrft to any,,ddqzc for all radiomen.@#$% I don't remember ever seeing news stories at all when I was out.  quote:"Found my wallet card and bluenose certificate from 1970. We had gone over the arctic circle with Capt. Logan but no certificate. Capt. Forsythe was more inclined for such ceremonies. He dyed his shaved head green and presented a pretty commanding performance as Neptune ’s stand-in. No mercy on ward room folks. Those of us who were still on the boat, having gone over sometime in first six patrols, were credited with that by not having to take too much flack on this crossing, thanks to Yeoman Eddie Neal who researched it for us.

I’d like to read about it. he was a dipshit that made the news. he was glory seeking and did pretty drat near everything wrong and nearly died for it. including 'getting hit' (didn't get hurt) and screaming for his teammates who had to expose themselves to fire to rescue his dumb rear end. im condensing it a lot but this was from a few years ago.
