PURVIS I Acoustic Tests,

Abstract

The PURVIS I tests are part of the C/P (Conformal/Planar) Sonar Development Program being conducted under the direction of the U.S. Navy, Bureau of Ships. The sea test program is designed to provide information required for technical decisions on the C/P Sonar Program. The destroyer USS HUGH PURVIS (DD-709) was instrumented for the PURVIS I series, and tests were conducted during February and March 1966 in the Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO). The water depth was in excess of 500 fathoms for all acoustic tests. A second series of tests, PURVIS II, will be conducted during the summer of 1966. The purpose of this interim report is to provide some preliminary acoustic data from the PURVIS I tests.
