Downloaded for very near future viewing. The 763 boat - USS Santa Fe (a 32-year-old 688i) for some reason is not pictured on the book..... The 1500+ comments in the UT video pretty much tell the tale. ALSO noteworthy is the fact that Dave (a Canoe-U alum) didn't screen for flag. He cared more for his crew's careers than he did for his own (Navy) career.....
I was impressed that torpedo rooms were not in the front and back. They launched them so the body of the ship (boat?) blocked the sound from the target. I suspect the wire is by now fiber with something like Kevlar sheath. Nice tech! Bob Wilson
It's more like they put the sonar, and the VLS in the bow, and the engineering spaces take up all the room back aft. Flooding the tubes down and launching the fish will generate a significant transient (human made sound) and the '48 generates noise even on a stalking profile - but if you're close enough to hear one....
