Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This FEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of shock testing the SEAWOLF submarine at an offshore location. The submarine would be subjected to a series of five 4,536 kg (10,000 lb) explosive charge detonations of incrementally increasing intensity sometime between 1 April and 30 September 2000. The FEIS evaluates a no action alternative and analyzes in detail two alternative areas offshore of Mayport, Florida and Norfolk, Virginia. Alternatives are compared with respect to project purpose and need, operational criteria, and environmental impacts. Most environmental impacts of shock testing would be similar at Mayport or Norfolk. These include minor and/or temporary impacts to the physical and biological environments and existing human uses of the area. Using 1995 survey data from both areas as the most appropriate basis for comparison, the risk of mortality and injury of marine mammals is about 5 to 7 times lower at Mayport than at Norfolk, whereas the risk to sea turtles is about the same at the two areas. Thus, the preferred alternative is to shock test the SEAWOLF offshore of Mayport, Florida, with mitigation to minimize risk to marine mammals and turtles. If the Mayport area is selected, the shock tests would be conducted between 1 May and 30 September to minimize risk to sea turtles, which may be more abundant there during April.

Book excerpt: This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) evaluates the environmental consequences of shock testing the SEAWOLF submarine at an offshore location. The submarine would be subjected to a series of five 4,536 kg (10,000 lb) explosive charge detonations of incrementally increasing intensity sometime between 1 April and 30 September 1997. The DEIS evaluates a 'no action' alternative and analyzes in detail two alternative areas offshore of Mayport, Florida and Norfolk, Virginia. Alternatives are compared with respect to project purpose and need, operational criteria, and environmental impacts. Most environmental impacts of shock testing would be similar at Mayport or Norfolk. These include minor and/or temporary impacts to the physical and biological environments and existing human uses of the area. However, the number of marine mammals potentially affected by the detonations would be about eight times lower at Mayport than at Norfolk. Thus, the preferred alternative is to shock test the SEAWOLF offshore of Mayport, Florida, with mitigation to minimize risk to marine mammals and turtles. If the Mayport area is selected, the shock tests would be conducted between 1 May and 30 September 1997 to minimize risk to sea turtles, which are more abundant at the Mayport area during April. The USS SEAWOLF is the first of a new class of submarines being acquired by the Navy. The class is expected to consist of three submarines, with the second currently under construction. SEAWOLF class submarines will be the largest and most capable fast attack submarines in the fleet. Features include reduced acoustic and electromagnetic signatures, improved speed, greater triaximum operating depth, greater ordnance capacity, and other technological improvements reflecting the state-of-the-art in submarine design.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to shock test the SEAWOLF submarine so that the resultant data can be used to assess the survivability of the submarine. This project is needed because computer modeling and component testing on machines or in surrogates does not provide adequate information to assess the survivability of the submarine in accordance with Section 2366, Title 10, United States Code (10 USC 2366). Only by testing the submarine manned with the appropriate systems operating can the shock response of the entire ship, including the interaction of ship systems and components, be obtained and an adequate assessment of the survivability of the submarine be determined in accordance with 10 USC 2366. Shock tests have proven their value as recently as the Persian Gulf War when ships were able to survive battle damage and continue their mission because of ship design, crew training, and survivability lessons learned during previous shock tests. The final, specific site for shock testing would not be selected until 2 to 3 days before the test based on marine mammal and turtle surveys (see Section 4). Three weeks prior to the shock test, a single aerial survey would be conducted over the selected area (i.e., Mayport or Norfolk) to identify a single primary test site and two secondary test sites based on the lowest relative abundance of marine mammals and turtles. Two to three days prior to each detonation, an aerial survey would be conducted at the primary and secondary sites, and a final test site would be selected on the basis of scarcity of marine mammals and turtles. This would ensure that the final test site would be selected where shock testing poses the least risk to the marine environment.

This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous incidents suggest that man-made sound injures and can kill marine mammals. This book offers an objective look at how ocean noise should be addressed given the lack of regulatory structure and the scientific uncertainty over the effects of noise on marine life. It is an essential text for policymakers, governments and NGOs, biologists, environmental activists, , oceanographers, and those in the shipping, engineering, and offshore oil and gas industries.
