Well that's quite a feat if you pulled that off against the Typhoon in LWAMI...The Typhoon has a decent towed array--not as good as the Akula's, but still pretty decent. I wouldn't count on it being something you can pull off against capable submarines on a regular basis though. Acoustic conditions might have been different between the two instances too.
Phil's right about you never being undetectable. Get close enough and the shadow zone goes away, and he'll hear you as if you were on the same side of the layer. And what's more, if the Akula is slow enough, LWAMI models a capability for it to listen below its current depth (although I suspect that this is occuring at speeds higher than it should so I'll ask him to have a look at it).
The sensor entity for the AI Pelamida TA is 300 (?) behind the ship. I don't know if that is in meters or feet though; I suspect meters. |
well I was going to offer the over under with the tail but I see someone
did it.
just to say though that I love BSG absolutely artistic filming and
high intensity drama  |
Tomorrow's gonna be the best day of 2008!
