- Description of Pictures: Naval Research Laboratory Hosts Navy Science Day at the Navy Memorial:
Educational and hands-on activities for K-12 students to teach them about Navy Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers.
A day-long program of speakers, static displays and interactive games that cover the history of the Navy through science and technology, including the advent of the Great White Fleet and the 20th century modernization of the Navy, the origins of the Global Positioning System (GPS), and other navigation technology and the history of the use of robots in the Navy.
This event is being held in conjunction with the USA Science Festival, one of the biggest K-12 outreach programs with hundreds of booths and more than 1,500 interactive exhibits all over the Washington Metropolitan Area (www.usasciencefestival.org).

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- NSD_101016_203.JPG: Vijay Kowtha, Introduction
- NSD_101016_240.JPG: Hayes and Daniels
on deck of USS 58 April 11, 1928
Dr. [Harvey C.] Hayes was the first superintendent of NLR's [Naval Research Library's] Sound
Division (now Acoustics Division), serving from 1923 until 1952.
[Oddly, other sources say he retired in 1947. See http://www.washacadsci.org/Journal/Journalarticles/V.93-3-Harvey%20C.%20Hayes,%20reprint,%20Measuring%20Ocean%20Depths%20by%20Acoustical%20Methods.pdf ]
- NSD_101016_245.JPG: James Cole, "Acoustics & Fiber: Do They Go Together".
Cole is the step-grandson of Harvey Hayes, the first superintendent of the Naval Research Laboratory.

1952.
- NSD_101016_306.JPG: Harvey C. Hayes
"To the universal acclaim of the scientific community, Hayes had then used his invention (the sonic depth finder (SDF) [3]) to make the first complete bottom profile of any ocean, during the June 1922 transatlantic crossing of the destroyer Stewart (DD224) from Newport, Rhode Island, to Gibraltar. With Hayes on board, the Stewart ... made 900 soundings of the ocean to depths beyond three thousand feet. The news of this accomplishment went through the scientific community like a bolt of lightning... The Navy's new instrument gave scientists there first look at the configuration of the ocean floor in all its irregularity. Sound now at least began to reveal what years of work with rope and wire soundings lines had only suggested. Civilian science quickly concluded that the number and range of naval vessels as well as the revolutionary potential of the SDF made the US Navy an indispensable partner in the exploration of the ocean."

circa 1957
- NSD_101016_319.JPG: Gordon B. Hayes
During recovery from a leg injury suffered as a boy, Gordon became interested in Amateur (HAM) Radio. Although he attended Phillips Andover Academy and American University, he was principally a self-taught electrical engineer. During WWII, he worked on the Proximity Fuse at the Stump Neck test-site in Maryland until he was convinced that the fuse had proven itself during testing in the fall of 1942. He then moved to Naval Research Laboratory where he worked on IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) and RADAR beacons. In the early 1950s, he moved to Waterford Connecticut and joined the US Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory in New London, where he worked on torpedo countermeasures, the SQS 35, 36, and 38 operational sonar systems as well as acoustic environmental measurements. Gordon was most proud of his patent 3,140,462 on an RF based transducer that can operate as a hydroplane, microphone or pressure sensor.

3rd Generation Bernard F. Cole
... Mr. Bernard F. Cole... was the first NUNL [???] cooperative student to receive a Superior Accomplishment Award. The award was granted for his contribution in studies of the relationship between the acoustic and physical properties of the ocean bottom. Mr. Cole's performance in this effort exceeded by far what normally would be expected from an undergraduate laboratory scientific aid. [???] The quality of his work was comparable to that of a scientist many years his senior.
After graduating from Northeastern University in 1964, Mr. Cole presented a paper, "Marine Sediment Attenuation and Ocean-Bottom Reflected Sound," at the annual meeting of the Acoustical Society of Americas in Austin, Texas. Mr. Cole was nominated in 1969 for the Commanding Officer's Award, the highest honor the Laboratory bestows. All this to date, and he is only 28. [???]

- NSD_101016_343.JPG: 3rd [???] Generation Gordon Hayes and James H. Cole
Throughout his career, James H. Cole has performed research in interferemetry [???] in optical fibers. At TRW, he first proposed using "coherent fibers" for acoustic sensors in 1975 based on work funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). He authored one of the first two papers including experimental results in 1977 and he is recognized as one of the pioneers in fiber optic sensing. He joined Naval Research Laboratory in 1978. He holds the US patent which covers both synthetic heterodyning [???] and phase generated carrier demodulators [???] now used on the Virginia Class Submarine. IN 1982 and 2003, he received NRL's Alan Berman Research Publication Award for the best papers in the Acoustic and Optical Sciences Divisions, respectively. He has authored or coauthored over 30 [???] peer-reviewed articles and conference presentations, presented more than a dozen invited talks, and hold 11 patents.
