 DIBV-10 Vampir - Archived 6/2003
Atypically, it appears that much development work had already been done on the Vampir system by the time it was publicly announced.  The first service installations took place on the last three frigates of the Georges Leygues class between 1986 and 1990.
By 1988, Vampir was set to become a standard installation on major French warships.  However, the weight and movement of the system made it unsuitable for the smaller warships favored on the export market.  In response, a downsized version, the Vampir ML-11, was introduced.

Density is affected by temperature, dissolved molecules (usually salinity), and pressure.
The speed of sound (in feet per second) is approximately equal to 4388 + (11.25 × temperature (in °F)) + (0.0182 × depth (in feet) + salinity (in ppt)).
This is an empirical empirically derived approximation equation that is reasonably accurate for normal temperatures, concentrations of salinity and the range of most ocean depths.
