German submarine U-480

U-480 was an experimental Kriegsmarine Type VIIC U-boat of World War II, considered by many to be the first stealth submarine,it was equipped with a special rubber coating (codenamed "Alberich", probably after the German mythological character who had the ability to become invisible), that made it difficult to detect with British ASDIC (sonar).

Haijiu-class submarine chaser

Original SJD-3 sonar on earlier Type 037 class submarine chaser is replaced by a 13 kHz (2 frequency ranges) French Thomson Sintra SS-12/DIP 12 hull mounted (HM)/variable depth sonar (VDS).

A nuclear submarine on patrol maneuvers in the Pacific Ocean captained by Commander Pete Mathews (Kenneth Tobey), comes into contact with something the sonar determines is massive.

Sumner-class destroyer and deployed to the Mediterranean from July 1956 to February 1957.

Measurement of sea ice

No Need for Bushido

The way he "sees" is somewhat like the way Uonuma Usui, from Rurouni Kenshin, and Daredevil "see" by using superhuman hearing to form a picture in his head, similar to sonar.

Outer Silver Pit

When the sea level was lower (such as in the Ice Age) it was a lake in Doggerland, and sea-bed-penetrating sonar bathymetry has found its shorelines and courses and estuaries of rivers that ran into it from the high land of the Dogger Bank; it overflowed into a river at its west end.

Tom Clancy's SSN

Thermoclines at various depths are simulated as well, affecting sonar readings and accuracy.

Towed array sonar

Surface ships most often have the sonar array mounted on a cable which pulls a depth adjustable tow vehicle (an minimal function type of remote operated vehicle (ROV) - see Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System) behind the mother ship, or on another weighted cable which trails from the ROV connector, dropping the towed array lower.
