Deploying an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) from the Oscar Elton Sette!

The AUV <i>[Autonomous Underwater Vehicle]</i> was lifted off the deck by a large crane and placed into the water off the fantail of the ship. At first it was tethered to the ship, but after a while it was released and became independent of the ship. The scientists want to be as sure as they can be that the AUV will operate properly before letting it go so they run through a checklist. If everything is working correctly, they release the AUV." - Rita SalisburyRead the blog post
