Some questions, esp about towed arrays.

One question-two actually:


How much noise does the extension/retreival of the arrays and floating wire make?


As I am talking about the array, does putting a kink in it from turning to much hurt it's performance? At about how sharp a turn?

[micky1up]

its not very nosiy to extend the arrays towed arrays only work properly when on a steady course the information whilst in the turn is not to be used speed up slighlty to get the arry back to a stable postition

You can break the ta by going in reverse, by going too fast (the speed threshold depends on the submarine), or by changing depth (going from deep to shallow) even at slow speed.
The last one is actually a bug .
