Abstract

A hydrophone fairing, including: an airfoil-shaped streamline structure having a first half-shell and a second half-shell; a roof plate; and a base plate. The roof plate and the base plate are disposed on two ends of the airfoil-shaped streamline structure, respectively. The first half-shell includes an inner wall provided with a first stiffener, a first support, a second support, a first division plate, and a second division plate which are successively disposed on the inner wall along the direction from the roof plate to the base plate. The altitudes of the first support and the second support are identical relative to the roof plate or the base plate. The roof plate includes a first end and a second end, and the first end includes a first hole to which a rope is attached.
