A U.S. Coast Guard member is preparing to launch an Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) to help calculate the speed of sound in the ocean. The launcher sends a probe into the water to measure depth and temperature variation below the ship. There is a copper wire attached to both the launcher and the probe. When the probe is released, the wire unwinds from a spool as it
