Abstract: In December of 1973 an IRAD (Independent Research and Development) program was initiated at Electric Boat Division to investigate the possibility of recording ultrasonic signals used to non-destructively test submarine hull welds. The navy had questioned ultrasonic testings ability to accurately and repeatedly inspect welded areas after the ship was placed in service. The total funding expended for a study task in 1973 was only 5,000, but the ideas generated by that initial study were the beginning of a new technology. This new process has the potential to change the entire concept of ultrasonic inspection and have a cost saving impact on submarine construction.
