Re: SOSUS words of great meaning to us

I think it was COntinuous Recording and Monitoring of SOfar. I recall Guam's CORMSO being rather important for support of a given event. Weeks of forwarded data.

Re: CORMSO and thoughts from Barbers Point

Rick,
After reading your post, you are right COtinuous is correct. These two are for DLW "Home made bearing wheel", and "Sister Ships". DLW hope you are reading these posts.

Re: Additional Acronyms and SOSUS words/phrases

At JFCOM we were have this conversation with a Navy Capt. in my office, well, just talking about acronyms. The Capt is an SSN captain, so we were talking about this and I innocently brought up FTN! He gave me a "look" then I said "Fast Tracking Nuke!" This always controlled individual, just busted out! I loved doing that ;) Actually he was very surprised with my knowledge of "submarine anatomy?" It's all Good!
