Type Side Scan Sonar Survey
Permalink http://canmore.org.uk/event/1173726
Sidescan sonar survey was conducted on the wreck of HMS Royal Oak, and a geophysical anomaly 250m to the south-west. The survey was carried out from MV Challenger using a C-Max CM2 sidescan. Analysis of the data for the Royal Oak clearly shows the rudders and prop shafts on one of the sonar runs to the north of the wreck, and to the south, the damage to the bow and superstructure on the seabed is clear.
