It's been over 30 years,

It's been over 30 years, but, as I remember, it looked like a piece of pipe, mounted on top of the port stabilizer, over hanging it by a couple of feet, fore and aft. I vaguely remember it being about 10 inches in diameter.
What I do remember, was, the A Gang and Sonar Gang cursing it. It either jammed when being deployed, or it jammed when being recovered.
I wish I could be more help.

I had two other URL's

I had two other URL's in a small image format that it seems does not want to project up here in this thread, The server does not permit displaying them here. One shows the stern planes of USS Aspro with towed array relationship in back ground, and other is a photo of a accurate model of a 637 towed array by former SC President Ken Hart. Here are the links....pursue it this way, this should work instead. Copy and Paste these addresses to see them. They will explain how the 637 towed arrays are combined with the illustration above.

...very interesting. As I indicated, I see a diagram, a model, and a photo when I look at your original posting.

I suspect that the 'problem' may be due to browser settings...perhaps some sort of virus/pop-up blocker being a bit 'overprotective'?

It appears that www.navsource.org is using cookies to verify that you can see images from their site. If you have never been to that website, then copy and paste the url, or have visited that url in the past, it appears to let you see the images. If, however, you have never been to that site, and don't copy and paste the urls, then you get a broken image icon....

Click here for a series

Click here for a series of shots of Bill Lambing's 1/96 Trepang (SSN-674). You can see the towed array fairing from several angles.
