HMS Orpheus (S11)
November 25, 1984 at 2000 hours
Conditions: 106dB ambient noise. Rain, fog, high wind.
2000: Arrived at projected point of contact with 2 Alfa-class submarines based on projected course from SOSUS detection.
2012: Ambient noise rendered passive sonar ineffective beyond extremely close ranges. Banged active sonar to lure in Alfas. Two contacts heard.
2013: Launch transient bearing 070
2016-2040: Evaded torpedo. Went to bearing where transient was heard. No contact
2043: Banged active sonar again. Heard second Alfa's launch transient. Went to flank speed to evade
2056: Zeroed in on Alfa. Launched Tigerfish in baffles. Caught before it could accelerate to top speed.
2058: Used active sonar again. Active sonar heard at bearing 277. Launch of enemy rocket heard. Changed course to evade. The torpedo payload failed to lock on.
2125: Contact made with second Alfa. Closed in on baffles.
2129: Tigerfish fired at ~500 yards in baffles. Target attempted to evade and counter launch but was destroyed.
