    Extractions: D. Walsh (International Maritime Inc., Oregon, USA) The primary advantage of the maimed submersible is that it permits the trained mind and eye to work in situ at great depths m the sea This is especially important in the geological and biological disciplines where "field work" requires the presence of the researcher at the work site. This paper will trace the historical development of these underwater research platforms and the work they have accomplished in the past 70 years. The first use of a manned submersible for oceanographic research on the cable was professor William Beebe's Bathysphere in 1930 – 1934 at Bermuda. Over the next seven decades the manned submersible evolved from bathyscaphs used by the French, US and Soviet navies, 1953 – 1982, to smaller more efficient vehicles, now in service throughout the world. Despite the advent of unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROV's) and autonomous unmanned vehicles (AUV's) there is still an im­portant role for the manned platform. At present about 12 are operating in support of oceanography worldwide. The history of real free swimming maimed submersibles began with the histori­cal dive of the bathyscaph "FNRS-2" in October, 1948 on 3515 meters depth. Dur­ing the next 55 years more man 150 submersibles were built worldwide and used 35 for scientific research, commercial diving and Navy operations.

    Extractions: Oceanography Space Sciences Blow the Ballast! CyberMail ... Teachers' Corner Almost forty years ago, the Trieste and its two occupants, (then) U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard, journeyed to the bottom of Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, the deepest point known in the ocean. No one has been back since. Read Department of Defense and Department of the Navy press releases as Trieste continued to set and break its own records for deep-sea dives in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

    Extractions: Oceanography Space Sciences Blow the Ballast! CyberMail ... Teachers' Corner Read the exciting story about ALVIN v. the Swordfish, straight from a 1967 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution press release. A scientist onboard ALVIN at the time of the attack tells the story During ALVIN Dive No. 202 on July 6, 1967, the submarine was attacked and rammed by a swordfish (scientific name Xiphias Gladius). The attack took place on the Blake Plateau off the east coast of Florida at a depth of 2,000 feet. ALVIN had descended to the sea floor in that location to undertake a geological and geophysical survey of the area. The crew of the submarine was Marvin McCamis, pilot; Valentine Wilson, co-pilot; Edward F. K. Zarudzki, scientific observer. ALVIN reached the sea bottom at 2:30 p.m. It was driven about 10 feet ahead of its initial landing point in order to take photographs of a single, large deep-sea coral specimen. I was taking a picture through the bow porthole when I heard a scraping sound on the hull. Thinking that the noise had been caused by the submarine drifting and scraping over the sea floor, I looked down and saw that we were stationery and on the bottom. Simultaneously with the noise, the co-pilot who was watching out through the starboard porthole, recoiled from it exclaiming: "We have been hit by a fish!" Indeed, outside the starboard porthole I saw a large fish, apparently captive, violently trying to disengage itself and in the process tearing some of the skin and flesh of its back. A small amount of blood was flowing out of these tears.

    Extractions: The dream of mankind, to explore the dark depths of the oceans, surely is old as the dream of flying. Around the Mediterranian exists a wellknown legend of Alexander the Great: 'The great king sat for 70 days in his boat of glass and had a look at the wonders and the beasts of the deep. During that time he discovered a huge fish. The fish needed three days to pass by.' (stamp to the left) In 1897 the American shipbuilder Simon Lake built the 'Argonaut I'. The boat had a gasoline-driven engine to be able to drive above and below the water surface and real wheels to drive at the bottom of the sea. The crew got fresh air through long pipes leading up to the surface. The sub had an overall length of 36 feet and, in 1898, the boat conducted a succesful voyage from Norfolk to Sandy Hook. The first people who entered the world of eternal darkness and returning alive were William Beebe and Otis Barton. They dived into the deep inside a ball of steel called 'Bathysphere', (Greek for 'deep ball'). The ball had a weight of 2250 kg, a diameter of 4.5ft and the sheets were 3.81cm pure steel. The ball hang from a steel cable, combined with rubber tubing for electricity and a telephone cable. In 1930 they dived down to 1416 feet, in 1932 to 2165 ft, in 1934 to 2979 ft. (When we speak about submersibles, the bathysphere simply is a 'must-tell'.)

In 1962, the U.S. Navy funded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI's) newly created Deep Submergence Laboratory to build a small, maneuverable submarine. ALVIN was born in 1964 and took its first dive on June 26. It was named after WHOI researcher Allyn Vine, who had long championed the need for such a research vessel. ALVIN was designed to operate under battery power, allowing it to rise, sink and move without being attached to its mother ship.

    Extractions: (and about 12 other senior staff members) The purpose of the meeting was to provide the WTEC team with a general familiarity with the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, which is the primary oceanographic research institution in Russia. This took a little over an hour, with the director conducting most of the briefing. A more in-depth visit to Shirshov was made later in the week by a three-person WTEC team. Some of the information that is in the report below was repeated at that time. Dr. Tengiz Borisov briefed the team on the work of KOPRON, the government's Special Committee for Undersea Work, for which he serves as chairman. P.P. Shirshov Institute is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The institute employs 2,000 people at four locations: St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad (Baltic base), Ghelendzhik (Black Sea base), and Moscow (headquarters). The institute formerly had a branch in Vladivostok, and is planning to establish a new branch in Murmansk or Archangelsk. The Moscow headquarters is divided into four branches: biological, marine geology, hydrophysics (which includes acoustics and physical oceanography), and technical (instrumentation, submersibles, etc.).

    Extractions: Exploration of the Deep Five centuries ago, sailors from Europe began exploring and crossing the oceans but the world below the waves was mostly unknown. Until the invention of underwater breathing equipment in the 1800's, only the pearl driver saw what lay more than a few feet below the surface. Through modern science, technology, advances in navigation , and many dedicated scientists, we are meeting the challenges of exploring this deep world. Undersea Explorers Vessels Submersibles Observational Tools ... New Explorations Deep Sea Explorers Alexander Agassiz (1833-1910) Swiss-American Marine Science and Engineer He used his engineering skills to develop new techniques for taking samples and soundings. He believed (incorrectly) that no marine life lived below the shallow depths of the sea. Between 1877 and 1880, he studied plankton levels in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Robert Ballard (b.1942) American Oceanographer Robert Ballard is probably best known as the ocean explorer who found the Titanic and the Bismark . He has made over 100 deep-sea expeditions.

    Extractions: The Caribbean Marine Research Center (CMRC) was created in 1984 by the Perry Institute for Marine Science, Inc. to address the critical issues associated with escalating environmental degradation as well as other problems related to living marine resources and marine geological processes of the Caribbean, Florida and other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In 1987, CMRC was designated as one of six National Undersea Research Centers under the auspices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). As part of NOAA's National Undersea Research Program, CMRC is charged with the responsibility for support of undersea research throughout the entire Caribbean region. Research programs supported by CMRC typically utilize some of the most sophisticated undersea technology available, including manned submersibles, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and both air and nitrox scuba diving. Over the past five years, CMRC-supported scientists have averaged nearly 4,000 scuba dives per year. During the same period, 547 submersible dives at depths from 30 to 305 meters conducted with the manned submersibles Nekton Gamma and Clelia. Additionally, a significant amount of support was provided for these operations using shipboard and land-based laboratory facilities. CMRC's main research facility is located at Lee Stocking Island (LSI), a privately owned island in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas. The island, including all facilities, is under long-term lease to CMRC by John H. Perry, Jr., the owner. Since 1984, Mr. Perry and the Perry Institute for Marine Science have invested over $15 million in LSI facilities in support of CMRC's operations. These facilities include 28 buildings (laboratories, aquaculture hatchery and production facility, housing, workshops, power stations, dining hall, RO water plant, dive locker and boat yard), a 3,000-ft (915-meter) airstrip, large dock, eight boats, two-man wet submersible and recompression chamber.

    Extractions: A new report by a committee of the National Research Council recommends the United States initiate a large-scale ocean exploration program that would increase the pace of discovery of new species, ecosystems, energy sources and pharmaceutical products. The council an arm of the National Academy of Sciences refers to the bottom of the ocean as "the Earth's least explored frontier," and says the new program to explore that frontier should be run by a nonfederal organization and should encourage international participation. The council's committee report, requested by Congress, says recent discoveries of previously unknown species and deep-sea biological and chemical processes have heightened interest in ocean exploration. For example, researchers working off the coast of California revealed how some organisms consume methane seeping through the sea floor, converting it to energy for themselves and leaving hydrogen as a byproduct that could perhaps someday be harnessed for fuel cells. The committee recommends the program include a flagship and a fleet of manned submersibles capable of diving to at least 6,500 meters and unmanned submersibles designed to reach depths of 7,000 meters or more.
