1916 Naval Torpedo School 36th Ann. Rep. 1915 v. 166 In October 1914 Lieutenant Burney..submitted designs of a scheme for attacking submarines from destroyers by towing torpedo-shaped bodies carrying an explosive charge, and fitted with hydrovanes for making them tow out to one side... The name Paravane has been given to any stream line body fitted with hydrovanes.

1920 Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1919 273 The Paravane has been developed as a weapon to fulfill two purposes:—(1) To attack a submarine. (2) To protect vessels from moored mines.

1984 Yachting (Nexis) Sept. 88 Paravene roll-control systems seem to have originated in the Pacific salmon-trolling fishery, among 30- to 40-footers manned by crews of only two or so. Paravanes enabled such boats to continue trolling despite heavy weather.
