I had been thinking that lifting and lowering the sub some how would be a good alternative. So what are those rings and the vertical heavy duty hydraulic rams for?

Possibly Mike Stahle, who bought all the Perry manned sub stuff. There was no bellows on this particular unit. That was way too expensive. What we did instead was man the big wrenches and crank screw jacks built into the trolley, adjusting the sub itself for a mate. That way you could leave them high for normal ops, which let the sub move in and out over the trunk without interference.

It looks like the thru-deck trunk can go up and down, so there must be a pressure proof expandable sleeve of some sort? I'm thinking the outer part of it includes those rings in the lower area? I would love to see the drawing of that assembly. Who might have those?

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).

I suspect Vance has used that one.

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.

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. "Success didn't spoil me, I've always been insufferable." ~ Fran Lebowitz
