The US Navy is able to get it's hands on some of the most advanced technology ever created. In today's educational animated cartoon we dive deep underwater, aboard a submarine to look at, and listen to, the Navy's SOSUS (Sound Surveillance System). Could a spy movie have something like this in it? It's the year 2019 and the technology behind these military, army and navy devices is getting better and better.

You forgot to mention that SOSUS could also tell not only what class of Soviet sub or Ship was out there but also it could tell the exact sub or ship. For example once NATO had the acoustic signature they could tell every time when the Carrier Kyiv left Murmansk.

[@krashd]

Signature recognition is not specific to the US, anything with a hydraphone and a computer can build a database of acoustic signatures. Also SOSUS tried to deploy stations in Russian waters but they were destroyed soon afterwards at each attempt, the US had to wait for satellite tech or rely on a snooping sub to have any idea of what the Northern fleet were up to in their own back yard.

Sonar works in water only because the water is pretty much empty. Large fish and whales are seen on sonar. But on land you have soil and rocks that would render the sonar useless about an inch in. However, Google has been developing a tech like you are imagining to help people after landslides, avalanches and earthquakes

5:00 Those were not explosives, they were mere hollow metal spheres with very precise dimensions, negatively buyoant. They'd sink down, until at a certain depth (controlled by diameter and wall thickness of the sphere) they would implode. These "SOFAR spheres" were very easy to mass produce and posed no risk in having them in the survival kits a typical crew would have when bailing out or performing an emergency landing on water. The coastal listening hydrophones would then pick up the implosion and be able to triangulate its position - though time synchronization was not as accurate in the 40s as today, yet sufficient.

[@iron60bitch62]

In 1979 while working in United Nations I was asked to deliver some fiber optic cable to a technician in Ireland he flew over from great Britain we met we had lunch I presented him with the cables which at the time with someone new and high Tech they were fiber optic I feel very proud that I have an opportunity to help spy on enemies of my country

This is why I internally laugh when Russians say they have superior technology. No we let you think that... in the words of Sun Tzu: “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.”

There also are radiation monitoring, water displacement under conditions, sem waves radars. That's why combustible batteries are used as energetic devices.

SONAR does not "hear" anything. Hydrophones do. SONAR is more like an underwater RADAR system. Unfortunately, SONAR, like RADAR also can betray it's source location so it is used very judiciously on subs.

I used to work on a ship that repair these cables. These cables are cut all the time by the Russians, and by others by mistake. (Communication companies would even cut these cables to repair or lay their own cables. The ocean has cables everywhere.) Russian trawlers cut these cables all the time. The Russians can still get their subs out when cut undetected.
