This is the story of one of the most challenging programs of the Cold War era. Combining the knowledge and craftsmanship of engineering, naval architecture, ocean science, and operational expertise, the AN/SQS-26 program’s success was a key factor in the U.S. Navy’s quest for ASW superiority. As with any undertaking of this scale, there needed to be a “hero,” an individual within the organization who had the vision, in-depth knowledge, perseverance, and voice to steer the sonar program through the difficult design, development, testing, and operational employment stages. That hero was Thaddeus G. Bell at the Naval Underwater Systems Center, New London, CT.
Above was a quote from Rear Admiral (retired) Richard Pittenger , who was also a leader in the field of Navy sonar.
