Comments

This was a difficult project due to lack of online resources. Apparently the AN/SQS-35 "fish" is related to the AN/SQA-13 system, so I used the dimensions of that, which were available. Photographs of a Knox-class frigate seem to confirm the size. The tether cable would be about 1600m long when fully deployed, which is impractical for an SB drawing, so I chose to represent it partially wrapped around so it would fit in a template. The distance between the "fish" and the hydrophone is accurate, and so is the hydrophone's length. The end is capped by a small drogue which is hard to represent in scale, and of which I have no good photographs.All TACTAS arrays, AN/SQR-18, 18A(V)2, 18A(V)3 and 19 should look similar in SB scale but I cannot confirm this. The cradle is drawn from photographs rather than diagrams and should be roughly correct when compared to real USN and JMSDF equipment. Use this part with caution.
