Talk:SOSUS
I removed:
In particular the widespread introduction of nuclear powered submarines meant that the sound of engines was no longer there to be heard, and instead the mechanical sounds of the motors and propellers would have to be used. To separate these sounds from the background noise of the ocean and other shipping required extensive sound processing systems to be installed.
as diesel-electric subs are actually quieter than nuclear powered boats when submerged. The reduced noise signatures of later boats is due to a variety of technical developments, not a switch to nuclear propulsion. Dan100 15:56, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Not sure that this is necessarily a valid point. Whereas a good diesel-electric sub is quieter than a nuclear sub when running on electric power, such a sub could not move any great distance under electric power and certainly could not transit the entire area covered by SOSUS. A good nuclear sub IS quieter than a diesel-electric sub running on diesel power, and that's an important point. TomTheHand 15:40, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

- The Acoustic Monitoring Project performed continuous monitoring of ocean noise since 1991 using the U.S. Navy Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) network and autonomous underwater hydrophones.
Subjects monitored are Ocean Seismicity (hydroacoustic monitoring allowing detection and precise ___location of small submarine earthquakes and volcanic activity), Bioacoustics (underwater acoustic methods used to study the distribution of large whales in the open oceans), and Environmental noise (the effect of noise, both man-made and natural, on marine life.)

1968 - In May, the USS Scorpion (SSN-589) submarine sank southwest of the Azores.
In the same year, a Soviet Golf class SSB sank north of Hawaii.
SOSUS data from March 1968 facilitated the discovery and clandestine retrieval years later of her parts.
