Deep Submergence VehicleDeep Submergence Vehicles are deep diving subs that are self propelled. The term DSV is generally one used by the United States Navy. The US Navy has two types of DSVs in its inventory, the research DSVs, used for exploration, and surveying, and the DSRVs (Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle), used for rescue of downed submarines and clandestine missions. Bathyscaphs are not submarines, in that they have lower mobility, and are built like a balloon, using a liquid hydrocarbon float. Alvin, seconded to NOAA Woods Hole National Oceanographic Center, is to be replaced with a super Alvin class of DSVs, approaching the depth capabilities of the Trieste class vessels, but with enhanced mobility, and with more manipulation tools as compared to the Alvin class.
