Even though it's a pumpjet, it just wouldn't be feasible for a towed array to be placed above the screw. Tacticfully, it would be impossible for the sub to travel slow with it deployed as the array would fall right behind the sub and thru the pumpjet flow. Even though it's a pumpjet, say the sub was rising and going slow...the array would be trailed right behind it and risk getting tangled as the pumpjet was pulling water from the same area. |
I don't see how that would be any more of a problem than having one secured to the port/stbd stabiliser when the boat's turning, although I believe there are maneouvering limitations with the tail deployed.
