re: #235 realwest

Well, given that I know practically nothing about the Navy - any navy! - I’ll certainly take your word for it.
But how the hell did a slow as hell Chicom Diesel Electric make it undetected through ocean waves to run into what I gather are littoral waters around Subic Bay - and if they really were littoral, what the hell was the USS McCain doing trailing a sonar array?!?

Maybe testing it. I do know the Navy has worked on using towed arrays in shallow water.
