Is there any updated news yet?
Prayers for Zack and all aboard. My son is just finishing Prototype School at NNTPC, and then off to OCS under the STA-21 program. He's put in for sub duty when he gets assigned.
Prayers for Zack and all of the crew members rsobin.
Dear rsobin, TexKat alerted me to your post, and I wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and your son and the crew. Don't worry, I'm sure everything is going to be OK. That aside, I'm concentrating as hard as I can with prayer and good thoughts for you, your darling, giving, awesome, strong, brave, protector of ALL us Americans that-are-so-PROUD-of-him son, and his likewise fellow great shipmates. I'll check back in a while on you and them, but know that hard prayers are going up from us FReepers, but also that all will no doubt be OK. We're with you, rsobin.
Thank you, Tex...a bunch.
Hope your son is OK

The fiberglass sonar dome covers up these pieces so the water flows smoothly around them: The sonar dome is "free-flooding and is always full of water when submerged.
The watertight "sonar sphere" is inside the spherical-looking structure on top: it has the hundreds of cable connections from each sonar transducer, and you get into the sphere from inside the sub through a small watertight hatch. The hatch is closed at sea.
Dear Lord, please keep Zack and all of our sailors safe and bring them home well.
