The Guide of the United States, cruising off the Pacific coast to map waters to 1,000 fathoms, is hailed as the most advanced vessel for hydrographic work. It carries a position finder and sonic depth measurer, reflecting cooperative noncombat effort in geodetic surveying.
The Guide uses underwater sound transmission and hydrophones to locate its position and water depth. An electrically detonated TNT charge 20 feet behind the submarine creates a sound wave, detected by a hydrophone 60 feet below the surface, half a mile from shore, triggering a shore radio signal to fix distance and location.
