Message-ID: <27070@amdcad.AMD.COM> Date: 1 Sep 89 08:01:23 GMT Sender: cdr@amdcad.AMD.COM Lines: 17 Approved: military@amdcad.amd.com From: Michael Reed Speaking of Thomas Clancy [a few weeks back], I was rereading _The Hunt for Red October_ last night and found myself wondering what passive sonar is. I know the basics of active sonar, and can fully understand the perils involved. But what is "passive?" I assume that particulars are highly classified, but would appreciate any non-classified info.
