Navy Sonar Technician – ST

[MrBoston]

I was an STG in '90s and that equipment they're showing is light-years beyond the 53C we had onboard the USS O'Bannon.

I was an STG in the mid 60's(surface sonar tech), my first ship was equipped with SQS-23, mainly active sonar, a FRAM I with ASROC, & the useless DASH system. Last ship I served on had SQS-26ax, also active, and much more powerful than the 23, and a much better passive ability since it had a very large underwater dome and able to pierce the thermocline with bottom bounce mode, vs the 23, which was small in comparison, and only active/passive modes. I always thought active sonar was a pointer for the enemy saying "HERE WE ARE"! Times have changed and so has sonar gear.

Finally! The video I have been watching for.. My Primary Rating when I first joined the US Navy! I chose this rating because not only did I get to operate our own sonar systems, but were highly trained in water, sound, acoustics etc AND because we also were highly trained and worked on and repair ALL our own sonar systems electronics, weapons systems and fire control systems. I wanted it all and so I chose this rating for that.. And can proudly say when I graduated my classes at FLEASWTRACENPAC, I did so #1 in my class!

I will be completely honest - I am here because Ukyo Saionji is very hot

[andyhwell]

Im a P3 Orion AW and did IUSS twice (Pacific / Atlantic). I cant stand the wobble sound of my ceiling fan.

You can hear the sonar from miles away and you can have a little fun with the sonar operator by banging on metal using Morse code.

Would love to take a tour of the ASW school in San Diego to see how much the sonar has changed since the 70's for surface ships.

[breckeline]

This is what I want to do when I join the Navy

[baxterplemons]

I am a former STG and wow the gear on this video looks like Star Wars compared to the old 26 cx/axr system and 23 pair system i worked on.

To hear the Dolphins and the whales on Sonar has to be the most amazing place any human could be there's nothing to us think dolphins and all these animals and a on the sea creatures they sing to us and they seem to God not through but they're singing the dog like the birds in the morning

[LanceMcCormick]

I was Master Grammer 80s when Russia was still kicking it!
Doubt they use ten picks anymore!

[Jaali]

I just got STG as my rate. Will be going to boot camp in August.

[alaskanalain]

I want to make one of these using the SDR type waterfall principle, any info on hardware or software welcome. On my boat, I have to leave the sounder on, or I may hit a whale. I have had one swim into me on more than one occasion.

[heedmywarning]

there is a WORLD of difference between a surface ship ST and a submarine ST (STS).

[danivanon]

1:18 so that graph isn't a 360 location plane, but rather a frequency graph?

[EricThompson]

Always the whales. Never the most annoying biologics: Shrimp. Try listening to your stereo from inside a popcorn popper... STS2 (SS) USS Henry M. Jackson SSBN 730 (Gold) GO NAVY!!

[elwin]

We didnt have ST's on my ship(LHA). Our OS's did basically the same thing.

[kevinrohlfing]

Does anyone know if the STs transitions into a civilian job?? I just signed for 4 years as STs

[waterhead]

So ST's get tationed on Aircraft Carriers?

[Dra]

I wish I had the ability to listen to to animals even a hundred miles away the fishing the dolphin communicating all the animals even the deer they all talk to us the cats and the dogs they talk to us so having this owner is so special treat cuz they communicate to us can we hear them and tell that we hear them
