  • Submersible vehicle
    Patent number: 6928947
    Abstract: A remotely controlled submersible vehicle comprises a fore section and an aft section. In use, they are held apart from each other, such as by telescopic arms, in order to define a gap within which a payload is received. This keeps the payload near the center of the vehicle, improving the balance of the vehicle and minimizing any threat of disruption to the wash path of thrusters.
