The sometimes mentioned Sea Spider "system" was simply a complex and unsuccessful experiment with a very large suspended array in the Pacific. It was part of LRAPP as noted on page 181 of the reference. The experiment was part of the Pacific Acoustic Research Kaneohe — Alaska (PARKA) II experiment in 1969. Parts of Sea Spider ended up off Bermuda, designated Testbed for more experiments until that installation also failed. That array was installed by the unusual cable and installation vessel Naubuc. Details of the Sea Spider platform itself may be found in Project Pacific Sea Spider - Technology Used In Developing a Deep-Ocean Ultrastable Platform.
The web page A Century of Service: The U.S. Navy on Cape HenlopenArchived 2021-09-22 at the Wayback Machine has a detailed description with photos and illustrations of this NAVFAC and the cable and array locations. The original phonetic name for the system was GEORGE. The photo of a cross section of the old 21 quad cable is of particular interest.
