''Stalwart''-class auxiliary general ocean surveillance ships (
T-AGOS) were a class of
United States Naval Ship (USNS) auxiliary support Ocean Surveillance Ships commissioned between April 1984 and January 1990. Their original purpose was to collect underwater acoustical information using the
Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System
The AN/UQQ-2 Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS), colloquially referred to as the ship's "Tail", is a towed array sonar system of the United States Navy.
SURTASS Twin-Line consists of either the long passive SURTASS array or the Twi ...
(SURTASS), a
towed array passive sonar.
''Stalwart'', ''Indomitable'', and ''Capable'' were modified to support narcotics interdiction by removing SURTASS equipment and adding an air-search radar and
tactical data link equipment.
