    摘要: A beacon recovery system for a floatable hull type ocean device, such as a torpedo, wherein the system includes a cylindrical housing which has a top opening. The housing is capable of being mounted in the ocean device with the top opening flush with the exterior surface of the hull of the device, and the housing has a port for flooding the device with ambient ocean water. A piston casing is slidably mounted in the cylindrical housing and sealed thereto for sealing the port from the ocean water. Beacon means are mounted in the piston casing and capable of transmitting beacon signals from the top portion of the piston casing, and means are mounted in the housing for biasing the piston casing upwardly out of the housing. Latch means are provided for retaining and releasing the piston casing at a first position flush with the hull and a second position partially extended from the hull. Timing means are mounted in the housing for releasing the piston casing from the first position and activating the beacon means and then, after an interval of time, releasing the piston casing from the second position. In this manner, the beacon means is enabled to transmit beacon signals while the piston casing is partially extended and, after the interval of time, the piston casing is enabled for jettisoning so that the ocean device can be flooded through port and sunk.

    摘要: A torpedo recovery system is provided with a hull and a float conformable on a host vehicle and lifting wire coiled on a spool attached by an extension spring as well as with an anchor to the float. An oval hole penetrates the recovery system hull at positions lined with a watertight sleeve. The spool can accommodate a locking pin. The extension spring allows compliance for take-up of the spool by having the locking pin mate with an aperture and adds a wire pre-tension. Upon vehicle shutdown; the locking pin is retracted to free the spool from a rotational constraint. The float buoyancy translates into pulling the wire from the spool with the float and extension spring continuing to the water surface. Once the float reaches the surface; the float provides a visual location for the host vehicle. The float is retrieved and a winch can recover the lightweight torpedo.
