fiNavy Seeking Answer To Missile-Armed Subs

depth, the submarine is long gone. Conventional torpedoes fired by other submarines are but little more effective— "nukes" have been known to outmanoeuvre them.

A possible answer is rocket power for depth charges and torpedoes. Some currently being developed are reported to have reached speeds of 300 miles an hour. But there is no indication

It could just stay on top of a sub. Then, if the sub launched its missiles, the hydrofoil listen-

The point is this: What hap- pcns if an enemy develops a submarine defence and catches you without one.

"Nukes." as navy men call thc atomic subs. can cruise for months at depths beyond the reach of conventional detection gcar. From these depths they can hurl missiles far enough to reach most of the world's ma- jor citics. They have the speed and manneuvreability to escape the fastest surface ships. And they can hide from aircraft in thc uncharted, ever-changing ot'can.

litllions spent so far on anti- sulimarine research have served to show how big the problem l:. but not how to solve it.

Scientists now know why a submarine suddenly can “van- i<h.“ It is hiding in a vest un- dci-water cloud of tiny organ- vsius called plankton. But they

EXTEND SONAR

They have extended the range of sonar—sound waves which are the radar of the depths— from a few hundred feet hundreds of yards. But they still are fooled by whales and by unknown fish which some- how make noises just like sub- mariucs.

Nobody is boasting. but now and then come hopeful hints from navy and industry labora- tories.

Sonar's shortcomings, for in- stancc. someda may be com- chsated by the laser. a device for amplifying light beams.

The underwater range of las- ered light, far more powerful than light from any other man- made source, is secret but is re- ported to exceed sonar. Lasered light can be confined to a nar- row hcam. which means it could strikc a submarine and bounce hatk undetected.
