(a) "美國政府在通知國會同意售台兩艘派里級軍艦的計畫中，載明將同時出售SQR-19型拖曳式聲納給台灣，此型拖曳式聲納系統加入海軍後，對我國整體反潛作戰戰力將有重大助益。

(b) "我國海軍目前反潛能力最強的是諾克斯級（濟陽級）軍艦，濟陽級軍艦所使用的拖曳式聲納為SQR-18A型，功能等級低於SQR-19。

SQR-19拖曳式陣列聲納為美軍現役各式軍艦配備，能有效偵測潛艦的行蹤，加以標定並識別軍艦類型，具有強大的反潛性能。

Note:
(a) Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Hazard_Perry-class_frigate
(Built 1975–2004; In commission 1977– present; Completed 71; general-purpose escort vessels inexpensive enough to be bought in large quantities to replace World War II-era destroyers and complement 1960s-era Knox-class frigates)
(b) 濟陽級巡防艦 (台灣買8艘, arriving in Taiwan 1992- 1998?; 以專業反潛艦為設計導向的艦艇，不可避免地得犧牲掉一些功能，尤其防空武力為甚，僅有一門Mk-42艦砲與一門MK-15 方陣近迫武器系統充當自衛之用; 中華民國海軍計畫逐步汰除濟陽級巡防艦; named after 山東省濟南市濟陽縣)
(c) AN/SQR-19 and -18 are towed array sonars. I do not know what AN/SQR stands for, despite yearlong effort.
