SUBMARINE RESCUE VEHICLE.—The Lockheed Missile and Space Company displayed this full-scale model of the inner hull of the deep submergence rescue vehicle being built by the company for the United States Navy. The three interconnecting spheres will go inside the rescue submarine’s outer hull and can withstand pressures at maximum rescue depth of 3500ft. The bell-shaped structure at the bottom attaches to the distressed submarine and is the transfer hatch for the crew, 24 at a time. The two circular openings in the model admit ocean-systems engineers for fitting equipment and cabling. The actual pressure hull will have completed spheres.
