Forward Looking 3D Sonar

The invention locates the transducer for a forward-looking 3D sonar in a recess of the bilge located forward of the shaft of the canting keel mechanism. The semi-circular recess located between port and starboard semi-hulls houses the shaft which articulates the canting keel mechanism to the bulkheads.
