I doubt they were eavesdropping on their own cables.

Some of you people are never going to get to the truth w/o assitance.

Imagine a line of sonobuoys, fixed in position w/anchors, and long cables running to the surface for VSAT (Very Small Aperature Terminals) as well as sonic transducers for capturing 'sound' at variuos levels due to thermocline induuced effects (sound tends to 'duct' with the same thermal layers); viola, we have the present scenario wherein a 'serice' sub had a work accident.

No?

Yes.

Well, yeah, I admit .......I didn't know I needed "assitance".

Some of "you people" need to back off with your hateful comments. I don't see that they are doing a bit of good on this forum. Whatever.
