Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] STANAG NATO standard flange

That's the thru-deck trunk on the old Sea Diver, nee Intersub 2. It was purpose built for one sub (PC1202/DLO) and had a stand-up dual chamber sat system under the decks and a quarter million cubic feet of gas in rocket bottles. Later, we used two larger ships for DLS services with the same sort of underdeck (Perry-built) system and two submarines each (usually a PC-18 and a PC-12). It was quite an operation. I was actually there the day the Nick shot those pictures, but only made it to the cutting room floor, I'm afraid. The photo was taken in a Bremerhaven shipyard, near Carsten's neck of the woods. I was just to Nick's left (starboard side) in the mechanic's shop, getting gear together for 1202, which I'd helped build at Perry (that's it in the background).

Jay,

The clamping device in the picture linked below on a Intersub support ship looks like it might be the type your talking about.  I suspect Vance has used that one.

Brent,
The two-part coupling flange is common in the oil patch for mating diving bells with decompression facilities for crew transfer.  The small portable chambers depicted in the DART brochure are used by US Navy diving detachments during remote ops.

I found this set of decompression units from a manufacturer in the Netherlands, that are using the STANAG NATO standard flange.  The main unit has a interesting pressure hull design.  It looks like they are using a different locking means for there add on unit, in a clam shell arrangement. I'll need a at least two STANAG flanges on my live aboard sub.
