+pcpilot 181 Posted July 12, 2004 Kinda gives ya the willies thinking something this big is cruising past ya just below the surface. Neat shot though. Even on a surface ship, DD-971, Ive spotted subs' hull forms underwater in the clear pacific. We used to operate occasionally with US and allied subs, usually chasing them. I used to think if I could see them, it oughts be pretty easy for a plane to spot one once he was in the area. Even a hundred feet down might not be enough if the water is clear enough. Any comments from our webfoot submariners? You guys probably know what it was like, eh? HMAS RANKIN PS. Also a cool link at bottom of photo for the RIMPAC2004 exercises...check it out. GO NAVY! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snacky 0 Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) Schools of fish can cast shadows like this and from 3,000ft look very much like a submerged sub. You don't get a MADMAN off of a school of fish though. ;) Edited July 13, 2004 by Snacky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
