[quote:nexuseditor:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzE5MTUyNzI4XzZCNTUzMDY5] Most interesting post by Acolyte at his thread: Re: A CHRONICLE OF THE WORLD AT WAR III (The Buildup ) Quote [b]Russia Reloads Its Library[/b] August 30, 2010: In Britain, the Royal Navy revealed that its submarines were suddenly having numerous encounters with Russian SSNs (nuclear attack subs). The Chinese and American navies are not revealing anything about similar encounters, but it appears that the Russians are updating their sound libraries. These are used for the passive (no broadcasting) sensors that subs favor. These sonar receptors listen for sounds, and compare ones that might be ships or subs, with previously recorded sounds in the sub's electronic library. Russian sonar sound libraries have long been in need of updating. Every ship, sub or marine animal has a distinct sound. Some American sound libraries can identify individual whales (these large mammals make a lot of noise). All this activity is happening because Russian subs haven't been getting out to sea much in the last two decades. The Russian Navy has not only shrunk since the end of the Cold War in 1991, but it has also become much less active. Until about two years ago, Russian subs rarely came out to play. On average, only ten of their nuclear subs went to sea, on a combat patrol, each year. Most of the boats going out were SSNs (attack subs), the minority were SSBNs (ballistic missile boats). There were more short range training missions, which often lasted a few days, or just a few hours. But the true measure of a fleet is the "combat patrol" or "deployment." In the U.S. Navy, most of these last from 2-6 months. In the last three years, U.S. nuclear subs have carried out ten times as many patrols as their Russian counterparts. These long patrols are the ones where you can take the time to stalk the subs of potential enemy fleets, and capture their sound signatures. full article from link at: http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htsub/articles/20100830.aspx [/quote]
