EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous anti-submarine warfare training exercise that took place in February 1970. In the image, an S-2E Tracker aircraft belonging to Anti-Submarine Squadron 33 (VS-33) soars gracefully over the snorkel of a submerged friendly submarine. The historic significance of this snapshot lies not only in its portrayal of military prowess but also in its documentation of advanced technology. Notably, the extended magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) rear boom attached to the aircraft is clearly visible, showcasing cutting-edge equipment utilized during this era. This MAD system played a crucial role in detecting submarines by measuring disturbances in Earth's magnetic field caused by their presence underwater. The photograph exudes a sense of motion as the warplane navigates through the open skies above vast ocean waters. Its monochromatic composition adds an air of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an important chapter in American history when maritime security was paramount. As we delve into our nation's past, it is essential to acknowledge and appreciate those who served within our armed forces. This image serves as a poignant reminder of their dedication and sacrifice while safeguarding our seas. Let us honor these brave men and women who valiantly defended our shores with unwavering commitment throughout history.
