Undersea Vehicles

It is in the HIGH-TECHNOLOGY field associated with exploration in the deeper waters of the world's continental shelves that Canadians are probably best known - particularly in the design and construction of manned and remote-control undersea vehicles and systems. One of the most famous Canadian submersible builders (until it went into receivership in 1978) was International Hydrodynamics Co Ltd of Vancouver, which manufactured the Hyco family of manned submarines, named after signs of the zodiac. During its best year, 1976, Hyco employed 165 people, but a surplus of submersibles on the world market, coupled with a drastic cutback in North Sea operations by a major British customer, eventually contributed to the breakup of this innovative company.

Submersibles have been around for nearly 20 years, but only since the mid-1970s have remote-control vehicles (which do not require complex and expensive life-support systems) become sophisticated enough to challenge manned craft. Remotely operated submersibles, built by International Submarine Engineering Ltd of Port Moody, BC, are being used in the Far East, the North Sea, the Middle East and other oil-producing areas.

Founded by company president James McFarlane in 1974, when the field was still in its infancy, ISE had designed and built more than 158 systems by the end of 1987, mostly for export. ISE manufactures a family of submersibles, most of which are unmanned and controlled through cables by a surface operator. New technology is conceived and developed with breathtaking speed. Early remote-control submarines were equipped with cameras for PIPELINE inspection; modern computer-controlled machines can perform more complex tasks, including oil-rig inspections and underwater shackle-ups at depths exceeding 1000 m. On-board diagnostic apparatus on the latest models enables technicians at ISE's Port Moody laboratory to monitor the internal workings of a submersible operating from a drillship as far afield as Australia.

A vehicle, designed to support drilling to even greater depths (about 2500 m, a world record), was constructed at ISE in 1983. In 1987 it was adapted for depths of 5000 m. The first in a new generation of untethered submersibles known as ARCS (autonomous remotely controlled submersible) has also been developed by ISE.

In addition to manned and remote-control self-propelled submersibles, Canadian companies also design and manufacture towed underwater devices, designed to perform tasks ranging from location of enemy submarines to identification of shipwreck sites and of geological structures capable of containing hydrocarbon deposits. A leader in this field is Fathom Oceanology Ltd of Mississauga, Ontario, which has grown steadily since it was founded in 1978. Fathom's products include fish-shaped housings for detection packages and associated shipboard towing systems; drilling-rig accessories (eg, fairings for cables, pipes, drill risers) and SONAR domes for naval vessels and related marine equipment. The company's expertise extends beyond the purely mechanical side of underwater towing systems into microprocessing and electronics.

In 1986 Fathom exported about 75% of its sales, while the navies of North America and western Europe accounted for half of the company's revenues of $19.4 million. A towed system known as BATFISH, designed by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography and equipped to carry oceanographic-research instrument packages, is manufactured by Guildline Instruments Ltd of Smiths Falls, Ontario.

Since Q always tells LIES and spews GARBAGE in his drops

Maybe his reference to U1 in Canada did not mean UraniumOne

Maybe it was a laser pointer to another kind of U1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U1

Military

U-1, the USAF and US Military's designation for the De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter light transport aircraft

U-1, Soviet designation for Avro 504 trainer.

Multiple German U-Boats named U-1

Oberursel U.I, an early German aircraft engine

HDMS U-1, a Danish submarine

SM U-1, an Austro-Hungarian submarine, lead ship of the U-1 class

==Did you really think the Colombian drug lords just developed their submarine industry from scratch? Canadian mining engineers were all over Colombia and Venezuela because of rich mineral resources. What other engineers did they know from their University days, old drinking buddies with a different specialty?

In digging for submarine vehicles I learned that there is a fairly large industry for undersea engineering and undersea devices to support the petroleum industry. There could be a lot of obscure stuff out there in the offshore oilfields beyond just the platforms, which are large ships at anchor.

Sciaky 3D printing technology helps submarine manufacturer save time, costs

https://www.automationmag.com/6911-sciaky-3d-printing-technology-helps-submarine-manufacturer-save-time-costs/

Mar. 26, 2017 – Sciaky, a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries (PSI), and provider of metal 3D printing solutions, has announced that its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) technology helped International Submarine Engineering (ISE) cut significant time and cost from the production of a titanium Variable Ballast (VB) tank versus the traditional manufacturing process.

ISE approached Sciaky after the closure of its former supplier, an overseas titanium forging facility that produced propellant tanks for the Russian space program. ISE did not want to risk further delays in its exploration plans, so it reached out to Sciaky, after learning that Sciaky had 3D printed titanium propellant tanks for Lockheed Martin Space Systems in 2015.

The engineers and project management team at Sciaky immediately put together an aggressive plan to produce a new titanium VB tank for ISE using Sciaky’s EBAM 3D printing process. In the end, Sciaky helped ISE reduce production time from 16 weeks to 8 weeks, as well as reduce overall costs as compared to retooling with a new forging supplier. In addition, the VB tank created with Sciaky’s EBAM process passed the same vigorous qualification testing as the tank previously created with the forging process. ISE now plans to 3D print other critical titanium parts with Sciaky’s EBAM process.

The titanium VB tank is a sub-system of ISE’s Arctic Explorer Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) class of vehicles. ISE previously built two Arctic Explorers for Natural Resources Canada/Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) to map the sea floor underneath the Arctic ice shelf in support of Canada’s claim under Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Arctic Explorer is the largest of the Explorer AUV class, measuring over seven meters (nearly 23 feet) long and weighing more than 2,000 kilograms (4409 pounds). It can be launched from a ship or through an ice-hole and the modular sections can be separated for transportation. Its unique VB system enables it to park on the sea floor or hold itself on the underside of the ice during missions. Rated to 5,000 meters (roughly 3.11 miles) depth, the Arctic Explorer is designed to remain underwater between missions for extended periods of time. A small Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) conducts all servicing and charging after the AUV is attached to a docking head.

That is Monica Bellucci on a bike in Rome in 1999

She is not Jewish. She was raised Catholic like most Italians who were not Communists. If that seems like an odd statement, look up the stories of Don Camillo and his nemesis.

>>10418630

No reason at all. I mean, it is laughable to believe that pedophiles might use submarines to transport sex slaves in secret. ROTFL :) :) :D

Now I'm starting to sound like those QAnon nutcases. Can you believe it!

Oh, by the way, the cinema is out that door, turn right, down the hallway and up the escalator. Have a nice evening!

How about making use of the purple text with two minuses to mark the beginning and end.

Use it for an aside speaking direct to the audience giving a comment or caption or something that tells why you made a post or what is notable about your post. This post actually has an example of that. Note that the purple text really has nothing to do with this post about formatting/structure.
