	T-AGOS 1 Victorious
		Victorious class ocean surveillance ships are built on a Small Waterplane Twin Hull, or SWATH, design for greater stability at slow speeds in high latitudes under adverse weather conditions.
		A contract for the first SWATH ship, T-AGOS 19, was awarded in November 1986, and options for the next three were exercised in October 1988.
		Loyal was positioned about 300 kilometers west-northwest of the Kursk in the Barents Sea when it intercepted the radio request for permission to continue the sub’s torpedo-firing run during Russian naval exercises.

	MSC 2001 in Review -- Special Mission Program
		A sixth ship, USNS Kane, completed her almost 34 years of MSC service March 14 and was turned over to the Turkish navy and redesignated TCG Candarli.
		USNS Persistent and USNS Vindicator, former ocean surveillance ships, supported U.S. Coast Guard counter-drug missions until funding for the program was exhausted.
		USNS Observation Island is the oldest ship in MSC service, with almost 48 years of service, and the second oldest operational ship in the Navy — USS Constitution is oldest.

	T-AGOS - Archived 5/2001
		USNS Stalwart, along with two sister ships, was deactivated in the early 1990s when the end of the Cold War signaled a reduced submarine threat from the former Soviet Union.
		The size was increased from the Victorious class SWATH in order to handle the larger and heavier equipment for the low frequency active (LFA) sonar system, including a towed array.
		Right now, the most likely scenario is that the USN will continue to modernize and upgrade its existing fleet of AGOS vessels, while the somewhat related Pathfinder AGS (surveying ship) class will see completion of the two units.

		USNS Stalwart, USNS Indomitable and USNS Capable, three older ocean surveillance ships, supported U.S. counter-drug efforts in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific under the tactical control of the Joint Interagency Task Force East.
		USNS Invincible, a former ocean surveillance ship, was reclassified as T-AGM 24 to reflect her new mission as a seaborne platform for a U.S. Air Force radar system.
		USNS Zeus continued service as the Navy’s only dedicated cable ship, laying, repairing and burying sub-sea cables for various Department of Defense sponsors.

	Surveillance Towed-Array Sensor System (SURTASS)
		Victorious class ships are built on a Small Waterplane Twin Hull (SWATH) design for stability at low speeds and in rough waters.
		The new vessels feature a small water-plane area twin hull (SWATH) design which provides quieting to enhance performance of the reduced diameter array and greater stability in high sea states for the LFA source array.
		Original procurement was projected for up to five T-AGOS 23 class ships; the current program is in flux, but will certainly be more modest, due to extensive delays by shipyard problems with construction of the $60,000,000 lead ship whose delivery has slipped to the end of 1998.

	The US Navy
		Victorious-class ocean surveillance ships are built on a Small Waterplane Twin Hull, or SWATH, design for greater stability at slow speeds in high latitudes under adverse weather conditions.
		The Impeccable-class ships has a hull form based on that of Victorious, but has a more powerful propulsion plant and is designed specifically for deploying an additional active towed-array system.
		The keel for the first Impeccable class was laid down Feb. 2, 1993.

	Ships, Sensors, and Weapons Submarines
		The Victorious class is a Small Waterplane Area Twin-Hull (SWATH) design that allows the ships to operate in relatively high seas.
		It can be towed in water as shallow as 180 feet, provides significant directional noise rejection, resolves bearing ambiguities without turning, and allows the ship to tow at higher speed.
		LFA will be transitioned to USNS Impeccable (T-AGOS-23), a single large (5,500-ton) SWATH ship designed specifically as a platform for the SURTASS towed array and its LFA adjunct, when it becomes operational in FY 2002.

		The SURTASS mission is to gather ocean acoustical data and through electronic equipment onboard, process and provide rapid transmission of antisubmarine warfare information via satellite to shore stations for evaluation and analysis.
		Built on a small water plane area twin hull design for greater stability at slow speeds in high latitudes under adverse weather conditions, Impeccable is larger and faster then her predecessor Victorious class ship.
		This ship is 281 feet in length, has a beam of 95.9 feet, displaces 5,370 long tons, and is capable of sustaining speeds up to 12 knots.

		Under contracts with the Navy, our engineers and technicians installed a large data acquisition system on the SWATH ship USNS VICTORIOUS and collected data as the ship performed extended Navy missions in the Atlantic and Pacific.
		Our engineers traveled more than 20,000 miles aboard T-AGOS 19 under a variety of sea and operational conditions.
		This work led to the award of a $2.3M SWATH control system design and fabrication contract to MAPC by a large foreign shipyard.
