Folks,
Naval Sonar, NAVPERS 10884, 1953 was created a few years after WW II and incorporates the major innovations of WW II. It describes the peak of WW II US sonar technology with a hint of the coming Cold War innovations.
This manual has a bit more math and theory than many of the operator manuals we have presented on this web site. If you are not familiar with the math, please do not be discouraged, instead try skipping what you do not understand and move on. The farther into the manual you go the less theory and the more practical systems are described. At the end, there are chapters that describe the most successful systems with very little math.
In this online version of the manual we have
attempted to keep the flavor of the original layout while taking advantage
of the Web's universal accessibility. Different browsers and fonts will cause
the text to move, but the text will remain roughly where it is in the original
manual. In addition to errors we have attempted to preserve from the original
this text was captured by optical character recognition. This process creates errors that are compounded while encoding for the Web.
Please report any typos, or particularly annoying layout issues with the Mail Feedback Form for correction.
