Abstract
Subsea work systems are summarized. These systems range from tools used to salvage cannon from “Vasa” in 1628 to the capability of the “Glomar Challenger” to core-drill in 18,000 ft of water in 1969.
A variety of underwater work requirements are identified. Work systems, classified and described, include diving systems, submersibles, unmanned vehicles, and remotely controlled equipment.
A specific system is detailed which utilizes an underwater one-atmosphere manned work station, and a manned submersible equipped with a manipulation capability. Technical descriptions of subsystem characteristics and hardware photographs are provided.
