1- -will Sonar WA DIVISION WA Division, a separate entity of the Weapons Department, is comprised of four distinct rates, each charged with Anti-Submarine Warfare Ope- rations. Through the coordinated efforts of the SONARMEN, ASROC GUNNER'S MATES, TORPEDOMEN'S MATES AND DASH person- nel Parks is able to seek out and destroy enemy submarines. ASW is a primary mission of the Parks and a vital necessity in enabling the United States to maintain control of the seas. The SONARMEN, under the leadership of SONARMAN CHIEF ':DUTCH LOHR, are 13 highly trained men responsible for detecting, clas- sifying, and tracking submerged contacts which may pose a threat to naval shipping. At sea these men maintain an around the clock watch of the undersea environment using SONAR CSound Navi- gation and Rangingj equipment. The ASROC GUNNER'S MATES, led by GM- Gl DIXON consist of 6 men responsible for the arming, launching, and detonation of an Anti-Sub- marine Rocket CASROCD. This weapon system possesses a long range standoff capability combined with very high target kill probability. It is highly effective in destroying enemy submarines. Further- more, the ASROC GM's are responsible for main- taining a daily, year round security watch to safe- guard Parks' nuclear capability. The TORPEDOMEN'S MATES of the Parks, under the leadership of TM3 STEWART, protect her from close-in surprise attacks by enemy sub- marines. Calling upon their knowledge and timely action, this ship is able to launch urgent attacks against hostile submarines by firing tube-launched torpedoes. The Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter CDASHD CTCVY, led by ATI CLUEN, consists of 6 men skil- led in maintaining and launching the DASH, a remotely controlled drone helo. This weapon sys- tem.1s designed to carry torpedoes over long ranges aff hlgh speeds for ultimate release over the posi- tion of a submerged enemy submarine. This crew was also among the Hrst to use several new tech- Hlques designed to expand our capability for res- cuing downed pilots.
