 | 43k | Oil on canvas painting by the artist Jim Christley entitled "Trailing". During the Cold War the US Naval Submarine Force was tasked with keeping tabs on Soviet Naval movements in particular, the Soviet Submarine Force. Submarines of the Sturgeon Class were well suited to this task and often trailed Soviet submarines for days reporting on their movements and recording noise signatures. In this image, such a trailing has turned into a close aboard encounter as a Soviet Viktor III Class has turned to port to check his baffles (to listen to see if anyone is immediately astern). A trailing Sturgeon has stopped his screw and gone quiet. Extending far behind the US submarine is its towed array sonar which assists in giving a clear picture of the ocean’s acoustics | Photo & text courtesy of subart.net. | |

 | 16k | As I remember, it was the first trip of the Mystic (DSRV-1) from the west coast to a east coast submarine. We took it out on the Bergall 's (SSN-667) back. At sea, they practiced rescue from one escape hatch to the other. The boat had to have special white painted on the hull to aid in the (DSRV-1) from the west coast to a east coast submarine. We took it out on the Bergall 's navigation. We even played the movie, "Gray Lady Down", during the run. While watching the movie we would point to some of the crew of the (DSRV-1) as we would recognize them in the movie. | USN photo courtesy of Dennis Lawyer & Mike Brood, USS Bergall SSN-667 Web Site. | |
