described in chapter Location of the hull unit.. Refer also to
figures 4 and 5.
Note the orientation of the centre line of the trunk with regard to
the mounting bolts, shown in figure 3.

Figure 3 Orientation of the sonar trunk
The height from the top of the trunk flange to the underside of
the protection blister must be minimum 920 mm (36 1/4”) as
shown in figures 4 and 5.
The top flange must be parallel to the construction loadline in
the fore-and-aft as well as the athwartships direction.
The installation trunk must be welded to an inserted plate which
should be 1.5 times as thick as the original shell plate. The size
may be determined by the shipyard or the responsible maritime
authorities. The trunk must be stiffened to the inserted plate by
welding knee-plates on the trunk in both fore-and-aft and
athwartships directions.
