AN/SQS-26

The USS Garcia (FF-1040) is seen with a AN/SQS-26 installed while in dry dock.

AN/SQS-26 was a United States Navy surface ship, bow mounted, low frequency, active/passive sonar developed by the Naval Underwater Sound Laboratory[1] and built by General Electric and the EDO Corporation. At one point, it was installed on 87[2] US Navy warships from the 1960s to the 1990s and may still be in use on ships transferred to other navies.
