MObile Submarine Simulator
 

MOSS - Any reason why not? :hmm:

Why don't you provide more info so people here can give you some proper feedback? ;) I'm not quite sure what you have in mind.

:lol: Shame on you SD, not knowing immediately that GM refers to 'Marbeled Murrelets'.

May I refer you to articles on the matter at MOSS -

http://www.mlml.calstate.edu/seminars/

Item 17 Zach Peery - 'Ecology and Conservation of Marbeled Murrelets'

See also -'The role of trophic interactions between fishes, sea urchins and algae
in the northwest Mediterranean rocky infralittoral' :-j

But, please forgive me, Gunnersmate I do not mean to be rude - you have given the clue in your subject title.

I suppose you mean by MOSS a freestanding mobile sub simulator booth,a concept like ones used for training pilots ?

I would be surprised if a navy has'nt constructed a simulator for training sub crews - but then perhaps it is
more cost effective to sit 'em in front of PCs and run DW ! :yep: ;)

:lol: :lol:

OK. Forgive me for my oversight. :-j

To help clarifying : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_submarine_simulator

Till I actually searched for it on Google I thought this was an invention of Tom Clancy from his Game/Book SSN ... seems this is not the case. Why wasn't it included ... no idea ... should it ? I don't think so ...

The MOSS is a MK37 torpedo that has been modified by replacing the sonar and Torpex packages with a sonar transducer that emits certain sounds depending on launching platform i.e. a 688 will emit 688 NB and a 726 will emit 726 NB. I dont have any programming experience but I think this would be any easy mod to do. Take a UUV and alter the sound profile and take out the sonar.

Well this is a very sensitive area - I posted a link in 'Bilge' to chinfo.nav.mil which had an article on
a wide range of 'potential' future applications for a new breed of UUVs.
Broadly - Surveillance, relay, deception etc.........

It has been withdrawn and I have lost the copy ! ;)

But not before sending one to LW to trigger his imagination - he promised to eat it . :D

PS. The chinfo domain is now apparently ''For Sale.'' :dead: :o :huh:

Gotta increase the budget someway. :roll:

According to the latest edition of Ships and Aircraft of the US Fleet, all MOSS's have been taken out of service-budget cuts and age. :nope:

Well all FFG-7's no longer have MK 13 launchers :huh: :down: :damn:
and have never carried MH-60's :roll:
and I do not believe they ever had MK50 torps :doh:

In fact I’m fairly sure they never even existed!

Not only that the Virginia class SSNs are just a creation of some DOD guy with Photoshop!
