![]() These truly remarkable recordings may be the only audio or video from within a submarine during an attack that has survived. Very, very few sound recordings of any kind where made aboard submarines during the war. They also recorded another attack during their 5th war patrol in March of 1945. The crew of Sealion made sound recordings in the conning tower of the submarine during the attack. On, Imperial Japanese Navy Battleship Kongo was sunk by USS Sealion.

We are always looking for additional real underwater sounds of interest to the historic naval ship community (or better copies of what we have). These are in MP3 format which should work on most modern browsers. This would allow it to be launched from the torpedo tubes of American subs.Below are some real (nothing from Hollywood) underwater sounds and some video. The impression shows that it bears a strong resemblance to a Mk 48 torpedo. This means we will likely see the system around for a long time. The Orca will also be a modular system, so that future missions can be added to the platform. Lockheed's website notes that among the missions it could carry out are intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (in essence, acting as a scout in areas a full-sized submarine cannot go, and which you don't care if it doesn't come back), mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare training (when you don't have a sub around), and "indication and warning notification" (in essence, acting as an underwater picket that you don't care about not picking up). It will provide range and persistence, while operating autonomously. The Orca is intended to handle a variety of "multiple critical missions," while leveraging existing technology. The Marlin unmanned underwater vehicle is ten feet long, has 18 hours of endurance, and can go at a top speed of four knots. ![]()
