Depth of 500 feet reached by Navy Divers in recent test of Helium-Oxygen for air supply. Washington, D.C., Aug., 8938. Record dives--deep as 500 feet--have been recently made at the Navy Yard here and off the USS Falcon Submarine rescue vessel operating from Portsmouth, N.H. by divers using Navy standard diving suits and with a mixture of helium-oxygen for air supply. A depth of 500 feet was reached under simulated sea conditions in the diving tank at the Navy Yard here. Heretofore 306 feet was the greatest depth reached by divers wearing standard rubber diving suits. (1) H.H.

US Navy Damage Controlman 1ST Class John Frush assists a diver into his suite during preparations for Surface Decompression on Oxygen dives, at the TWA Flight 800 crash site 120 feet below. Although Frush is not a diver, everyone on the Navys salvage rescue ship USS GRASP (ARS 51) assists in the safe "dressing" of divers and the handling of their "umbilicals" as they move about the ocean floor. The boots weigh less than 10 pounds each; most of the diver's weights are carried in his Integrated Diving Vest (IDV), which also holds emergency air, referred to as "come home bottle".

The Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator (AESD), Sea Jet, funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), a 133-foot vessel located at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, Acoustic Research Detachment in Bayview, Idaho (ID). Sea Jet will operate on Lake Pend Oreille, where it will be serve as a model representing a destroyer size surface ship to test and demonstrate various technologies. Among the first technologies tested is an underwater discharge water jet from Rolls-Royce Naval Marine, Inc., called AWJ-21, a propulsion concept with the goals of providing increased propulsive efficiency, reduced acoustic signature, and improved maneuverability over previous Destroyer...

A US Navy (USN) Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) rests on a launch rail aft of the mission bay onboard the USN Littoral (near-shore waters) Surface Craft-Experimental (LSC-X), which is moored to the dock at the Nichols Brothers Boat Builders Shipyard, Freeland, Whidbey Island, Washington (WA), ready for its christening ceremony when it will officially become the USN Fast Ship Frame Class, USS SEA FIGHTER (FSF 1). The SEA FIGHTER will help to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance, structural behavior, mission flexibility, and the propulsion systems of high-speed catamaran style vessels

HAMPTON, Va. – At the Naval Station Norfolk near NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia, the Orion boilerplate test article and support equipment for a stationary recovery test have been secured on a U.S. Navy ship from a floating dock system. NASA and the U.S. Navy are conducting tests to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module and forward bay cover on its return from a deep space mission. The stationary recovery test will allow the teams to demonstrate and evaluate the recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in a controlled environment before conducting a second recovery test next year in open waters. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of the Orion is scheduled to launch in 2014 atop a Delta IV rocket and in 2017 on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket.
