Jezebel research had developed an additional short range, high frequency, upward-looking system using active transducers for direct plotting of ships passing over the array. It was a joint Royal Navy and US Navy undersea tracking facility. Helicopter maintenance (HMF) also ceased here in that year. For details on locations, including photographs, see, The similarity is seen in the 1962 Bell Telephone System advertisement.

Mission Shore upgrades and new cable technology allowed system consolidation until by 1980 that process had resulted in many closures of the NAVFACs with centralized processing at a new type facility, Naval Ocean Processing Facility (NOPF), that by 1981 saw one for each ocean and mass closing of the NAVFACs. The initial array at Eleuthera got a fully functioning NAVFAC with an additional system for the Atlantic at Barbados and the first of the Pacific systems at San Nicolas Island came in 1957.

The individual arrays were installed primarily on continental slopes and seamounts at the axis of the deep sound channel and normal to the direction in which they were to cover. [1], The combination of research and engineering under Jezebel and Michael into an actual broad area surveillance system as seen by Project Hartwell's Frederick V. Hunt became the Sound Surveillance System with the acronym SOSUS. Moreover, SOSUS data from March 1968 facilitated the discovery, and clandestine retrieval six years later, of parts of the Soviet Golf II-class ballistic missile submarine K-129, that foundered that month north of Hawaii. The northernmost system off Vancouver Island was to terminate in Canada but a change in government there precluded a facility in Canada at the time. Before the nature of the arrays became known, many writers assumed SOSUS was a barrier system, rather than arrays giving surveillance of entire ocean basins.

[3], SOSUS systems consisted of bottom-mounted hydrophone arrays connected by underwater cables to facilities ashore. SOSUS grew out of tasking in 1949 to scientists and engineers to study the problem of antisubmarine warfare. It was because of the low frequencies, "about the A below middle C on the piano" (about 100-150 cycles) and "Jezebel" being chosen because "she was of low character.
