"Struggle (Six Feet Deep album) Struggle is the debut full-length album by the Christian metal band, Six Feet Deep. Bradley Torreano from AllMusic writes: ""Suffering from an unfortunate lack of melody, Six Feet Deep's pounding ""Struggle"" is a muddled blend of New York-style hardcore punk and the murky riffing of sludge metal. Although the material is charged with plenty of venom, the repetitive riffing and overall tone deserve better hooks than what is offered here. The hoarse yelps and roars attached to every song begin to wear out the listener through time, eventually rendering the second half of the album"
"Fathom A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to , used especially for measuring the depth of water. There are two yards (6 feet) in an imperial fathom. Originally the span of a man's outstretched arms, the size of a fathom has varied slightly depending on whether it was defined as a thousandth of an (Admiralty) nautical mile or as a multiple of the imperial yard. Formerly, the term was used for any of several units of length varying around . The name derives from the Old English word ""fæðm"", cognate"

A fathometer will display water depth and can make an automatic permanent record of measurements. Since both fathometers and fishfinders work the same way, and use similar frequencies and can detect both the bottom and fish, the instruments have merged. In operation, an electrical impulse from a transmitter is converted into a sound wave by an underwater transducer, called a hydrophone, and sent into the water. When the"

A cable length, based on the length of a ship's cable, has been variously reckoned as equal to 100 or 120 fathoms. Most modern nautical charts indicate depth in metres. However, the U.S. Hydrographic Office uses feet and fathoms. A nautical chart will always explicitly indicate the units of depth used. To measure the depth of shallow waters, boatmen used a sounding line containing fathom points, some marked and others in between, called ""deeps"", unmarked but"
"Foot (unit) The foot ( feet; abbreviation: ft; symbol: ′, the prime symbol) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard. Historically the ""foot"" was a part of many local systems of units, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. It varied in length from country to country, from city to city, and sometimes from trade to trade. Its length was usually"

In practice the ""warship fathom"" of exactly was used in Britain and the United States.

Echo sounding is effectively a special purpose application of sonar used to locate the bottom. Since a traditional pre-SI unit of water depth was the fathom, an instrument used for determining water depth is sometimes called a ""fathometer"". The first practical fathometer was invented by Herbert Grove Dorsey and patented in 1928. Most charted ocean depths use an average"

There were different models of the fathometer made initially by the Submarine Signal Company. The indicator of the Dorsey Fathometer was a neon tube on a rotating disc. The instrument looked like a clock and was in the bridge of a ship. The transmitting and receiving electronics were usually below the deckhouse. Before this instrument a ship had slow down considerably or stop to take soundings to get the depth. With Dorsey's Fathometer"

This open area adds resonance to the drum's sound. It is made out of hollow wood and/or bone. Archaeologists have unearthed 'foot drums' in several southwestern and central-Californian Native American archaeological sites inhabited, or formally inhabited, by the Miwok, Maidu, Aztec, and Hopi Indian tribes. These drums were often semicircle cross-sectioned hollow logs laid over wood covered 'resonating' pits positioned according to custom in kivas or dance houses. The foot"

"1923, which is also referred to as the Dorsey Fathometer by the director of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1934. It worked by sending a high pitched sound through the water. It traveled to the bottom at a known speed and returned an echo at the rate of four pings per second. This could then be measured and calculated as to the depth since sound travels at a precise speed in water. The ""Fathometer"" was so named by Dorsey because it measures fathoms. The Dorsey Fathometer instrument was used to get a precise measurement of water depth."

As shown by later expeditions using modern equipment, this area represents the southern end of the Mariana trench and is one of the deepest known places on the ocean floor. Modern soundings to 10,994 meters have since been found near the site of the ""Challenger"" original sounding.

Just before the reef’s outermost end, the depth increases suddenly from four to 22 fathoms. However, this is not a navigable channel but rather an uneven bottom.
