Sea Trials. Sea trials were carried out at Aarhus, Appenrade, and
Frederizia in Den-mark, in depths of 10 to 13 fathmos. No systematic attempt
was made to measure the sound output from ships by means of hydrophones. The
output voltage from the mine re-ceivers was measured, however, for a number
of targets, including the trials ship Greif freighters up to 5.000 tons, a
tug, and small motor boats. The voltage output was from 1 to 1,000
microvolts from the ships, and the sea noise was less than one microvolt. |
