Informationen zu den Aufklärungs- und Spionagetätigkeiten der Steurgeon-Klasse

Hallo Florian, nach etwas Rechcherche, habe ich die passenden Informationen zur Sturgeon-Class doch noch online gefunden, siehe hier anliegend. Weblink: [[1]] Grüße --Wikifreund 01:57, 31. Dez. 2006 (CET)

SUBMARINES A program that had its genesis in the later years of the Eisenhower Administration but is still operational today involves not surface ships but submarines. Known by a variety of code names, the best known of which is HOLYSTONE, the program is one of the most sensitive intelligence operations of the United States.

HOLYSTONE, which also has been known as PINNACLE, BOLLARD, and most recently as BARNACLE, began in 1959 and has involved the use of special electronically equipped submarines to collect electronic communications and photographic intelligence. The primary target has always been the Soviet Union but at times countries such as Vietnam and China have been targets of the operations which sometimes involved penetration of the Soviet, Chinese, and Vietnamese three-mile territorial limits.

The missions lasted about ninety days. Crews were given cover stories such as being on an undersea geodetic survey project that was using sonar to study ocean water temperatures in support of data collected by satellites. The crews were forbidden to use any active electronic or sonar gear while on a HOLYSTONE mission so as to avoid detection by Soviet antisubmarine warfare devices. In addition, hatches were tied down to prevent rattling.

By 1975, the program apparently had provided vital information on the Soviet submarine fleet--its configuration, capabilities, noise patterns, missiles, and missile firing capabilities. One mission involved obtaining the "voice autographs" of Soviet submarines. Using detailed tape recordings of noise made by submarine engines and other equipment, analysts of the Naval Scientific and Technical Intelligence Center (now the Naval Intelligence Support Center) were able to develop a methodology to identify individual Soviet submarines, even those tracked at long range under the ocean. The analysts could then follow the submarine from its initial operations to its decommissioning.

HOLYSTONE operations also provided information about theater and strategic sea-based missiles. Some Soviet sea-based missiles were tested against inland targets to reduce U.S. observation. On occasion, HOLYSTONE submarines would penetrate close enough to Soviet territory to observe the missile launchings, providing information on the early stages of the flight. According to one government official, the most significant information provided by the missions was a readout of the computer calculations and signals put into effect by Soviet technicians before launching the missiles. Beyond that the U.S. submarines also provided intelligence by tracking the flight and eventual landing of the missiles, providing continuous information on guidance and electronic systems.

In addition to providing acoustic and telemetry intelligence, the HOLYSTONE submarines also tapped into Soviet communications cables on the ocean floor. The tapping operation allowed the United States to intercept higher level military messages and other communications considered too sensitive to be entrusted to insecure means of communication such as radio and microwave.

Beyond signals intelligence, the submarines also were able to bring back valuable photographs, many of which were taken through the submarine's periscope. In the mid-1960s, photographs were taken of the underside of an E Class submarine that appeared to be taken inside Vladivostok harbor.

As was the case when the program was code-named HOLYSTONE, today's BARNACLE operations employ thirty-eight nuclear-powered Sturgeon-class submarines such as the SSN-6Y. The submarines have dimensions of 292 by 31.7 by 26 feet and carry SUBROC (submarine rocket) and antisubmarine torpedoes as well as Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles. With their 107-person complement (twelve officers and ninety-five enlisted personnel), the ships can travel at speeds at over twenty knots when surfaced and at over thirty knots underwater and can reach a depth of 1,320 feet. Their standard electronic equipment includes a search radar and both active and passive sonar systems.1

The special equipment placed on submarines for HOLYSTONE/BARNACLE missions has included the WLR-6 Waterboy Signals Intelligence System. The WLR-6 is in the process of being replaced by a more advanced system known as SEA NYMPH, described in one document as "an advanced, automatic, modular signals exploitation system designed for continuous acquisition, identification, recording, analysis and exploitation of electromagnetic signals." All the Sturgeon submarines will carry a basic skeletal system that can be upgraded to full capacity when authorized.

Another reconnaissance project involving submarines that began later than the HOLYSTONE program was code-named IVY BELLS. This project involved implanting a device to intercept the signals transmitted along a Soviet underwater cable in the Sea of Okhotsk, between the Kamchatka Peninsula and the eastern Soviet coastline. A combined Navy-NSA team, operating from a submarine, installed a miniaturized waterproof eavesdropping device--a large tape pod that fit over the Soviet cable, through which key Soviet military and other communications flowed. The pod had a wraparound attachment that intercepted the cable traffic by "induction" it could intercept the signals being transmitted along the cable without physically tapping into the cable. In addition, if the cable were raised by the Soviets for maintenance, the pod would break away and remain on the ocean floor. Tapes in the pod recorded messages and signals on various channels or communications links for four to six weeks, with the pod being installed for only two recording sessions a year.

The Sea of Okhotsk operation continued until 1981, when former NSA employee Ronald Pelton sold the Soviets information about the operation.

Archivierung der erfolgreichen Lesenswert-Kandidatur vom 14. bis zum 21. April 2007

Die Sturgeon-Klasse war eine Klasse atomgetriebener Jagd-U-Boote der United States Navy, die in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren gebaut wurden und teilweise bis um die Jahrtausendwende in Dienst standen. Mit 37 Einheiten war die Klasse in den 1970er Jahren bis zur Einführung der Los-Angeles-Klasse die größte Klasse in der Jagd-U-Boot-Flotte der US Navy.

Inhaltlicher Fehler?

Also 60.000 Seemeilen mit einer Reaktorfüllung halte ich persönlich für arg wenig. Da fehlt doch bestimmt eine "0" oder? Das sollte nochmal recherchiert werden bitte.

Lt. Terzibaschitsch: Seemacht USA, S. 508 liegt der Fahrbereich bei 60.000 Seemeilen. Auch Jane's fighting ships‎ (1967), S. 362, scheint das (lt. Google Books Snippet view) für den Reaktortyp an der Skipjack-Klasse zu bestätigen --fl-adler •λ• 15:02, 30. Apr. 2010 (CEST)

Tabellendaten

Könnte man die Daten in der Tabelle mal etwas genauer angeben?--Skyhawk4-Wide Reciever?-Takeln? 00:49, 29. Jul. 2011 (CEST)

Die Tabelle soll zusammenfassen. Hier gibt es eben Unterschiede. Genaueres findet man ja im Text --fl-adler •λ• 08:02, 29. Jul. 2011 (CEST)

Bauwerften

Die Anmerkung, dass nur noch Newport und Ingalls Atom-U-Boote baut widerspricht dem Artikel zur Virginia Klase, denn diese wird laut Artikel auch bei Electric Boat gebaut. Bitte überprüfen.
