	USS Bonita (SSK-3) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Bonita (SSK-3/SS-552), a Barracuda-class submarine, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bonito, any of several types of fish including the tunny (Orcynus pelamys), the skipjack (Sarda Mediterranea), the medregal (Seriola fasciata), or the cobia (Elacate canada).
		The three SSK boats, Barracuda (SSK-1), Bass (SSK-2), and Bonita (SSK-3), were built around the large BQR-4 bow-mounted sonar array as part of Project Kayo, which experimented the use of passive acoustics with low-frequency, bow sonar arrays.
		She was renamed Bonita 15 December 1955, decommissioned on 7 November 1958, and given hull classification symbol SS-552 on 15 August 1959.

	Atomic Veteran: Bill Alexander, Operation Hardtack
		Bonita as chosen for the nuclear underwater tests(Wahoo and Umbrella) partly because of the uniqueness.
		We later were advised that we were to be on station, in 740 fathoms, three miles from an atoll surrounded by and loaded with electronic measuring equipment, and 5000 yds from the shot, which was hanging from a buoy on the end of a cable 60 ft down.
		This confron-tational alignment, was the source of many arguements, which the BONITA ended being in on the short end of the stick.

		KAYO was designed to explore the feasibility of diesel-electric submarines (SSKs) for ASW barrier operations using passive acoustics with low-frequency, bow sonar arrays.
		But the SSKs remained hampered by their inability to close a target quickly, which led to their use in sub-air barriers in conjunction with ASW aircraft.
		At the same time, the SSKs had demonstrated the ASW value of a quiet submarine with a large bow sonar array and the preferability of nuclear power for fully autonomous, forward-barrier operations.

	SSN-594 Permit class
		Project KAYO was designed to explore the feasibility of diesel-electric submarines (SSKs) for ASW operations using passive acoustics with low-frequency, bow sonar arrays.
		But the SSKs were hampered by their slow speed and resulting inability to close a target quickly.
		While the SSKs had demonstrated the ASW value of a quiet submarine with a large bow sonar array and the utility of nuclear power for autonomous forward-barrier operations, Nautilus proved to be very loud acoustically.
