I was a surface sonar tech. In 1970, I was invited aboard SSN 670 Finback for a week long training exercise. They let me sit “on the stack” and go active as we left Norfolk. I was told to go passive once we passed the bay bridge. We fired a test torpedo at a diesel boat. I was on the stack and reported the bearing of it’s noisemaker, for retrieval. The guys told me they had been on some very cool missions, wouldn’t say where but admitted they were inside the three mile limit.
WOW THANKS FOR SHARING!
