More Information
Summary:Submersible intermediate docking station for at least one tethered or untethered underwater vehicle, adapted to be connected to a surface vessel through a tow cable. The submersible intermediate docking station and/or tow cable are controllable to attain one or more selectable equilibria between a resultant force vector of the tow cable acting upon the submersible intermediate docking station and a resultant force vector of the submersible intermediate docking station acting opposite of the tow cable, whereby motions of the submersible intermediate docking station are partly or largely decoupled from motions of the surface vessel.
