ABSTRACT:
A seismic acoustic signal source includes a hull that has a wetted surface in contact with a body of water. When underway, the draft of the hull is substantially zero. An acoustic signal generator is provided with a linear actuator that is resiliently mounted in the hull. The linear actuator is acoustically coupled to the hull bottom such that when the signal generator is activated, the hull radiates an acoustic wavefield into the water.
