Tracking the Threat: Anti Submarine Warfare in the Cold War (Restored -Color)

This is an amazing time capsule that could have come right out of the pages of Tom Clanceys classic thriller, “The Hunt for the Red October.” In this memorable recreation, a US Navy Carrier Task Force detects and tracks a Soviet sub in the North Atlantic. Youll see all aspects of the operation from the high tech Tical Command Centers aboard the Carrier USS America and Destroyer USS Spruance (DDG-111), to P3 Orion turbo props out of Keflavik Iceland and carrier launched S3 Vikings dropping and monitoring sonobuoy fields, to Destroyers deploying towed arrays . Youll learn about the essential role played by “The Fleet Numerical Oceanographer Center” in Monterrey California in collecting and disseminating critical data to ships and aircraft world wide, including weather forecasts, wave height, subsurface temperature variations and efficiently vectoring aircraft using OPARS and ASRAP sonar range prediction models. This info was vital in both detecting illusive Soviet subs and positioning USN ships to mask them from enemy detection. This is a gold mine of historic info for ASW fans everywhere! \r
