Steinke hood, английский
An inflatable life jacket with a hood that completely encloses the wearer’s head, trapping a bubble of air. this allows the wearer to breathe while escaping from a distressed submarine at moderate depths. its predecessor was the momsen lung, and its successor is submarine escape immersion equipment. stein’s monster: knox class ocean escort uss stein (de-1065) was configured with a multi-mode bow-mounted sonar for optimum antisubmarine performance. she was commissioned in january 1972 at puget sound naval shipyard and, on april 1, left san diego for a four-week 14,000 mile shakedown cruise, with scheduled visits to “show the flag” at ports in ecuador, peru, panama, and mexico. according to a widely reported media story, she was just south of the equator, heading for her first port of call, when her underwater tracking gear suddenly and mysteriously malfunctioned. after all attempts to bring it back on line failed, commander nepier v. smith was forced to abort the cruise and return north for immediate inspection and repair. as soon as water had been drained from the dry dock at long beach naval shipyard, the cause of the alleged problem is said to have became obvious. the tough anti-fouling cover of her large sonar dome, protruding below and in front of the bow, had been badly ripped and gouged. closer inspection revealed several hundred inch-long, sharp, hollow teeth or claws imbedded in the cover and on the dome itself. marine biologists and other scientists were immediately called in from san diego naval oceans systems center to study the incident, coming to the conclusion that the frigate had been repeatedly attacked by “a creature that must have been extremely large and of a species still unknown to science.” (the author has checked with the space & naval warfare systems center— successor to the naval oceans systems center— which can trace no record of the event.) this fascinating tale, undoubtedly expanded and embellished in telling and re-telling, can be traced to comments made by one of stein’s crew during a television interview and picked up by the mass media. in contrast, petty officer bob tackett’s recollection of the event as recounted to the author is far less mysterious: i was stationed aboard at the time as a member of the sonar team. my memory of the whole thing was a bit different than what was shown on the tv show. we were scheduled to sail to ecuador for a good will visit, taking a pilot on board in the gulf of guayaquil, and then continuing on up the wide guayas river to the town of guayaquil. we “hit” something in the river so hard that the ship shook. i was on deck at the time but personally didn’t see anything in the water. some people said it must have been a large log or something stuck in the mud on the bottom of the river, but other people said they saw “something” appear to swim away after the jolt. at the time i believe the bridge assumed we had struck and then cleared some inanimate object that the pilot didn’t know was there. later, when the ship went into dry dock and the marks were found on the dome, some people thought we must have encountered some large creature like a giant squid or something. personally, i think we hit something hard imbedded in the river bottom. sorry i can’t confirm “nessy” ripping apart our sonar dome or alien claw nails found bleeding and imbedded in the hull. other sonarmen on board at the time do not recall any equipment failures and point out that a naval sonar transmitter is physically separate from its protective dome, so even extensive damage to the latter would not have caused the system to malfunction as the story claims. in fact, stein completed her cruise as planned and it seems certain this intriguing tale of the “dome monster” can be dismissed as apocryphal. it does, however, demonstrate how easily word of mouth, supplemented by media hype, can transform a mundane incident into an inexplicable mystery.
