Abstract
An acoustic-sensing underwater tow cable includes a cable core for transmission of power/signals there along, a first jacket encasing the cable core, and discrete regions of carbon nanotubes affixed to the first jacket. The carbon nanotubes at each of the discrete regions define an acoustic sensor. A second jacket encases each acoustic sensor and any electrical conductors coupled thereto.
