The SONAR was invented in 1906.
I believe that Lewis Nixon was 45 when he invented sonar. He was born in 1861. Kelly Nixon Mayr
Lewis Nixon helped develop sonar technology while working at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. during World War II. Sonar, which stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging, was instrumental in detecting and tracking submarines.
Henry Hess did not invent sonar or radar. Sonar was first developed in the early 20th century by several scientists, including Lewis Nixon and Reginald Fessenden, while radar was independently developed by various scientists in the 1930s, such as Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his team in the UK.
The first sonar invention was called the "echo sounder" and was developed in 1913 by Lewis Fry Richardson. It was initially used to measure water depth by sending sound waves into the water and measuring the time it took for the echo to return.
Sonar was gradually developed and improved over many years, but the first operational form of sonar as we now know it goes back to about 1918.

It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906. He was seeking a way of detecting icebergs. But the sonar was not "invented", its inventor was nobody, but developed through the years.Sonar had very humble beginnings, from crude instruments to advanced technology. (However, the natural sensory process cannot be invented, see bisonar or echolocation for that.) The first attempts to interpret sound waves created by vessels was by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1490, when he used a tube that detected vessel movements when placed in water.
Lewis Nixon was born on September 30, 1918.
