HSL 44 celebrates 60,000 mishap-free flight hours NWSA406. The end of the Cold War not only brought a reprieve from the threat of nuclear war, it also marked the beginning of a new partnership between the Navy and civilian scientists. During the Cold War, the Navy identified and tracked submarines with hydrophones, supersensitive listening devices. As a result of an unprecedented collaboration, the Navy allowed Dr. Clark to use its previous classified worldwide network of underwater hydrophones, the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System, to search for the acoustic signature of whales instead of submarines. Like a nuclear submarine's sonar system, the whale's powerful burst of sound may be echoing back the positions of sea mounts that can be used as landmarks.
