nem devia pertencer a Armada esse tipo de meios

Estes navios antes de serem oferecidos a Portugal estavam integrados na Marinha americana e eram uma espécie de navios de apoio para detecção de submarinos inimigos, no tempo da guerra fria.

Apesar de desramados, eram navios militares.

Eram navios de Elint, segundo me lembro havia alguns irmãos da classe com radar aereo.

Os navios estavam equipados com sonar e outros sensores, de memória julgo que os navios eram armados, o meu pai referiu-me diversos armamentos leves e mísseis defensívos.

The Coast Guard has leased two TAGOS class ships from the Navy, USNS PERSISTENT (East Coast) and USNS VINDICATOR (West Coast). Both ships have been outfitted with a Mission Operation Center (MOC) and two Deployable Pursuit Boats (DPB's). The ships crew (19) is made up of members of the Military Sealift Command (Maersk Line Limited) and two civilian contract electronics technicians. The ships crew is responsible for virtually everything outside the MOC and DPB's. TACLET provides 34 members divided into two teams of 17. Of the 17 TACLET members 4 are designated MOC watchstanders. The MOC is outfitted with a CIC/COMMS suite comparable to a 378. What makes this unique and challenging is the fact that only one person is on watch at a time. The four watchstanders per team are comprised of an RD1 (MOC supervisor), TC2, QM2., and RD3. They are responsible for 2 independent GCCS-M systems, link 11 interface, surface search radar, air search radar (AN/SPS-49), IFF with Doctrine Processor, HF, UHF, and VHF communications. Record message traffic on NAVMAX terminal (CUTIX), Navy Order Wire (NOW) terminal for SATRATT, STATNET, SAS Controller, Communications patching and troubleshooting, and a FLIR camera system. The contract technicians maintain all of the electronic equipment with the exception of the 73 radar (one in the MOC and two on the bridge). The assigned Coast Guard ET is responsible for the 73 radar and all electronic equipment on the DPB's.

The ship is designed to tow an array of underwater listening devices to collect acoustical data. The ship also carries electronic equipment to process and transmit that data via satellite to shore stations for evaluation. The ship, the listening devices and electronic equipment are all part of a system called the Surveillance Towed Array System, or SURTASS. SURTASS is a linear array of 8575 ft deployed on a 6000 ft tow cable and neutrally buoyant. The array can operate at depths between 500 and 1500 ft. Information from the array is relayed via WSC-6 (SHF) SATCOM link to shore. SURTASS patrols are of 60-90 days duration [which even with passive tank stabilisation is a long time to wallow around at 3 kts].
