 So we're on the USS Howard DDG 83 she's one of the Older destroyers commissioned around 2002 yet over the last few years We've had some of the most major upgrades and now USS Howard is the most capable destroyer in the US fleet with our upgrades that we have received to anti anti submarine warfare anti air warfare and Ballistic missile defense So anti submarine warfare is our ability to track classify and thought localize submarines we can You know detect them with sonar via active sonar or passive sonar Active sonar where we're actively putting sound into the water passive sonar where we're just listening for different noises It's like a routine track of a Fishing vessel Some of the equipment we have on board the USS Howard is the surface vessel torpedo tubes located port and starboard side midships They hold three mark 46 or mark 54 torpedoes respectively They're used to engage our subsurface bricks Another piece of equipment we have on board is the expendable bathy thermograph used to measure temperature versus depth Operating area to effectively employ our systems Which brings me to our two most important pieces of equipment the whole array and the total array The whole array is located on the front of the ship. We can employ passively which means we are only receiving Just the data underwater or actively which means we're sending out active transitions and awaiting return And our total array which is streamed thousands of yards behind the ship is used to receive all acoustic signatures underwater And to tie it all together our consoles that receive all the data from our sensors that our sonar technicians use to make the underwater So part of what makes our job special is our ability to Train in all areas of the world the Hawaiian op area an area which we train at all the time has very unique acoustic environments that allow us to Practice our art and anti-submarine warfare is an art and our ability to Execute these missions of training or real-world tasking or whatever it is just allows us to Refine our art and allow us to become the most capable destroyer in the US Navy
