ORIGINAL: miller7219 This one's a bit nit-pickey, but US subs in 1960's/1970's era are all listed with a "Generic Acoustic Intercept" with "Late 70's" technology. Have had zero luck with book and internet resources researching the historic path of ACI technology. In fact I can't find much at all prior the LA Class' WLR-9 in 1978. I assume there were predecessors to the WLR-9 series ACIs, but I haven't been able to find them. Can a generic ACI, listing technology earlier the the late-70s, be added to the DB to coincide with earlier platforms' dates of service? I would assume earlier generics would be less capable (sensitive) than the WLR-9? Not a clear subject, but some sketches and hints for research from my personal notes, probably most took of Cold War Submarines https://www.amazon.com/Cold-War-Submarines-Construction-1945-2001/dp/1574885308 and mostly of US Submarines from 1945 https://www.amazon.com/U-S-Submarines-Since-1945-Revised/dp/1591145996/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4MLVHA6RN0JH&dchild=1&keywords=us+submarines+since+1945&qid=1620661342&sprefix=us+submarines+s%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C241&sr=8-1 : quote:
