A museum exhibit case displaying historical sonobuoys - cylindrical devices used for underwater acoustic detection. Multiple white and metallic cylindrical units are suspended by wires in a glass case with pale green walls. An informational panel on the left titled 'Sonobuoys' explains their function in detecting submarines. The numbered devices (19, 21 visible) are arranged vertically, showing different types of these acoustic sensors. Additional technical diagrams and information panels are visible on the right wall.
