Hollywood said it well, "they worked so-so" compared to today's units. I have a newer side scan unit on my present boat which only needs a fixed external transducer and it gives near photograph quality imaging.
Interesting observation re the military connection and probably holds true for most of the innovations today. It instantly made me think of the great many inventions that came out of WW2, such as radar, loran, synthetic rubber, jet engines, silly putty and the Abomb being the more memorable.
Eric, it did indeed but as you were generally crawling when it was deployed it wasn't an issue.
