Report of the Sonar Self-Noise Sea Trials on the USS RICH (DD 820) and the USS MACKENZIE (DD 836) AN/SQS-23 Sonar Domes Coated with ML-SD15 Vibration Damping Material.

Abstract

This report deals specifically with the performance data obtained during the sonar self-noise sea trials on the AN/SQS-23 sonar systems of the USS RICH (DD 820) and the USS MACKENZIE (DD 836). As previously reported these two 360-inch domes were coated with ML-SD15, a sprayable, viscoelastic vibration damping material developed at this Laboratory.
