Hi Nick  - A blast from the past.....  The presentation of the SOSUS
History YT video sounds a lot like the "Turbo Encabulator" in cadence and
complexity!  haha   Our OT's and ST's watching those acoustic spectrum
analyzer grams on the AQA-5 could hear the proverbial "Fish Fart in Fiji"
...
Thanks!
