I think you have to credit the editor of the video for that. It sounded more like a piston engine than a nuclear sub.

I'm thinking that was just wind noise, camera seems to either be on a helicopter or high on a mast somewhere overlooking the sub.

So from the video we got some sort of. Mechanical direction indicator with a possible paper roll above it for tracing bearing over time.

Souns about right?


I wonder if. Wild torpedo avaoidance manuvers and such were possible using such devices? How would you know when to jink? Headphones indicating possible range?


Very interesting stuff. Very hard to find pictures of.
