A Soundman At Work. This soundman is operating one of the echo-ranging devices installed on light ships during the war. In peace time, this device is not regula equipment for this type of vessel since its primary use was for detecting submarines. The soundman is shown aboard the Blunts Reef light ship, No. 100, whose station is off the California coast. The light ship service is one of the most important functions of the Coast Guard.
