Info about ESM (UAE / s3000)

[Marcantilan]

Hello all!

I am investigating about certain ESM gear that US sold to UK for Operation Corporate (1982 South Atlantic War), for use in some SSNs.

It looks like the gear was UAE / s3000 / SANDMAN (look here: http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=l-DzknmTgDUC&pg=PA525&dq=ESM+s3000+falklands&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ajjST-DhHYeC8QThnZ3DAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=ESM%20s3000%20falklands&f=false )

I don´t have any other details except this Friedman book. Anyone have info about the gear (either in the US or Royal Navy) and what submarines used it?

Thanks a lot and regards!

All I can suggest it's contacting the Royal Navy submarine museum at Gosport.

Good luck. :up:

jejeje, already did that.

They are very supportive (I really like those guys), but they have no idea about it.

Regards!
