You know, that is what I was thinking, and I think you are correct. I didn't want to put that out there without some sort of confirmational reply - thought I might get embarrassed by someone who knows the "real answer".
George - NO PROBLEM !! I am not sure why I never got my EXPERT button (I do have the certificate) when I qualified as EXPERT and was OWO in Adak (70-71). Capt. McWethy was COSP Commodore at the time - and sat in on my oral board during an ORI. Nice to hear from you. I, too, am enjoying this string of posts, must remember to thank Jim Donovan for initiating it.
I seem to recall that serrated effect was used in conjunction with blade rate, mostly predominant on B1 after a knee-in steadies up. (I'm having flashbacks to my early NAVFAC years....... )
I kind of remember the CORMSO. Wasn't it used for pinpointing seismic disturbances?
I concur with Jerry's comment on serrated effect being associated with blade rate.
George----I regretfully never sat for a board other than the one at NFCB to qualify for ROC OWO/CDO
Concur with Jerry. Serrated effect was on blade rate signatures; predominantly on certain classes. But we shall not go there. Probably would be too much information.
Happy to hear you say that, Jim. Exactly why I didn't get too deep in the weeds with my response. Not sure where the classified/unclassified line is these days.
MILS=Missle Impact Location System, CORMSO= Correlating/Recording & Monitoring SOFAR???
I'm not sure of the last portion SOFAR. Barbers Point, (The Showcase of the Pacific) with a putting green lawn was where I first saw and had to perform quick looks and long looks on CORMSO as well as a paper change in some sort of superhuman time period. COSP ORI's would test and time these events during the inspection cycle.

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.
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.

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!
