I sent this to my Dad as he used to be in the Navy and then worked for NAVSEA for over 30 years. Whenever we watch movies with submarines, he points out the systems he worked on. Here is his reply to the photos I sent:
"Yes I have been following this sub--the USS San Francisco SSN 711--it hit an undersea seamount about 300 miles from Guam. Claims it was one of those uncharted types. I saw some video of the sub returning to Guam & then these photos in the SF shipyard drydock. Hard to believe they were able to stay afloat & not go down. The whole front end damage is where one of the main sonar transducer/hydrophones are located. The torpedo detection equipment ( the topside receiving hydrophones) I helped get approved for service use & in production & installed on every sub can be seen by the guy near the front of the sub--it is the black object protruding from the deck by his left side. "
Your father must be very pleased to have a daughter as thoughtful as you.
