If
something goes wrong, maybe a aircraft vanish in
the Sea, a search for a Spanish galleon or
other sunken treasures a submersible
is brought in to
have a look into the deep blue Sea.
Submersible boats are not easy to build and it
costs quite some money to build them. Every
submersible project needs lots of funding, time
and experience. That is one of the reason why
this kind of subs are mostly created with
government help and maybe with some cooperation
of the navy.
A submersible today
is very often a marine robot with some remote
operation through a mother ship where the dive
control center is installed. This dive robot
operating center is again installed in a
container to be moved easily.
The Swiss
underwater explorer Auguste Piccard was more or less the
father of all exploration submersibles for non
military diving. He created, together with a
shipyard the first submersible which actually
worked on a professional level. There have been
mini
submersible and others before but not on a
useful level.
Actually Piccards submersibles
like the Trieste
bathyscaphe (deep
boat) was
further advanced than any military submersible
at that time. The Trieste was a deep-diving
research submarine with a crew of two. The
submersible was purchased by the U.S. Navy for
$250,000 in 1958.
On January 23
1960, the Trieste reached a record depth of
10.92 km or - 35,813 feet- in the
Challenger Deep ravine. Lieutenant Don Walsh
from the US Navy and Jacques Piccard (son of
Auguste Piccard were on board). The way down
took almost five hours. |

The Trieste
bathyscaphe
was on the Sea floor
for about 20 minutes and
had a long way up for 3
hour 15 minute, a
submersible speed is not
fast at all.
A submersible speed
is quite low, about
20km/h but this is
not very important, only
military subs move much
faster. Today its not a
big deal to buy a
submersible or submarine
for all kind of
purposes, since the
techniques and materials
are easily available, in
the internet you can
even buy blueprints to
build submersible
or subs. The only hurdle
is the price, its very
expensive.
A very special
submersible or
mini-submarine of type
LR5 was used by a
British diver team to
help in the Kursk
incident
where the Russia
military at location did
everything to make
problems to the Brits,
its typical Russian
behavior of the type
...we cant do it, so
others also shouldn't
do. Unfortunately so
called Russians
specialists are
producing nonsense all
the time. |

A
different class are deep-sea submersible
operated via remote control from a ship.
Advanced technologies continuously
virtually open the water deeper and
deeper. For rescue missions, scientific
research plus deep sea oil and gas
explorations.
Actually
the Russians again made the top of the
Sea submersible nonsense the other
day when they used a sub to put a
Russian flag into the Sea floor and
claiming afterwards now this is their
territory. They really did this, that’s
not a joke from the kindergarten..

About 70%
of the earth is covered with water;
means there is a lot of underwater
territory to explore. Today as a matter
of fact we have a better understanding
of the moon and the mars but know very
little about the Sea floor.
Satellites and aircrafts are used to
explore the Sea by remote sensing
ships, submarines and submersibles do
the job on the earth surface. They all
have helped to locate and access deep
sea treasures, oil and gas, sunken
vessels and crashed aircrafts.
To
visualize the deep sea usually have been
done using ships with sonar equipment
and other special tools. In the last 3
decades submersibles and submarines
moved in for a closer look into the deep
sea.
Submersibles with sonar like the
unmanned German submersible in the
picture left are also excellent on deep
sea missions since down there nothing is
optically visible anyway, black and
that's it.
Until
recently the high pressures of the deep
Sea has put high limits on |
|
| submersible
exploration. Using dive robots has
allowed submersibles to move down until
about 6000 m. These submersible robots
function as undersea multimedia station
and also can collect material samples
from the Sea floor.
Oil wells,
gas exploration, mining and mineral exploration
are all typical operating environments of a
submersible or mini – submarine.
Dive depth of
submersibles, in this case unmanned or rd
submersibles continually is increasing, the
current professionally submersible frontier is
6000 m. There have been some attempts to dive
deeper with success but this was for record
hunting. All deep sea submersibles today are at
the dive limit at about 6000 meters.

Deep unmanned
submersible from France can dive 6000 m down.
