P-3's....LMAO...... All I have to say is if we didn't want a P3 to find us they wouldn't.............period
Can''t tell you how many times we were doing exercises with P-3's and after they couldn't find us they would ask if we would come up and snorkel so they could locate us. Then even after knowing where we were then...they would lose us and we would have to come up again......
(snorkeling is when the submarine is still submerged but raises a mast above the water line that serves as an air intake and exhaust path for the diesel......spews white smoke for the P-3's to see....
)
