An Evaluation of Deep Ocean Research Vehicles.
Abstract
In an effort to evaluate deep ocean research vehicles and their potential value to deep ocean civil engineering, a submersible was leased and used in familiarization dives by ocean engineering personnel. The dives are described by the participants, and their impressions are given. A literature search was made, and the capabilities required of a submersible are postulated. The capabilities readily available in six representative, currently operational submersibles are compared with the postulated requirements. It is concluded that deep ocean research vehicles have great potential value in the ocean engineering program, and it is recommended that submersibles be used where applicable to specific tasks.
