Design and performance of undersea electroacoustic hardware for corrosion and biofouling protection

Subject report deals with the job of designing electroacoustic hardware to function according to plan in the undersea environment. Design techniques and rationale are described, and limited performance records are given. The designs and techniques discussed were developed over a span of several years and were influenced by basic corrosion and biofouling studies conducted in Governmnent laboratories; these techniques have been made available to the industry and have been incorporated in hardware with reasonable success.
