ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing device for an underwater towed body includes a keel attached o the bottom surface of the towed body to provide for any major correction for its rolling motion. Any finer correction of the rolling motion of the towed body is accomplished by moving horizontally a trim weight housed inside the towed body. The horizontal movement of the trim weight is controlled by the power applied to the electric motor which is determined by the rolling motion sensor.
