Navy Underwater Construction

Abstract

Compared with their terrestrial counterparts underwater construction methods and equipment are very much underdeveloped. To improve the success record and to decrease excessive costs, it is essential that each contributor to the field attempt to openly describe and draw conclusions from his experience. The community may then be stimulated to objectively compare and generalize these conclusions as a basis for substantial improvement in the techniques and equipment for underwater construction. It is toward this goal that this paper is presented.
