Research Vessels
• Ships and Boats– Most common– Versatile– Can carry many other types of research
equipment– Wide variety – based on use
• Large ships with large crews for long term, distant research
• Small boats, small crews coastal research

Pros and Cons of Submersibles
• Pros– Allows direct
observation– Able to operate
independent of surface ship
– Can explore small features
– Can remain stationary with relative ease
• Cons– Dependence on
surface ship to carry or tow them to site
– Small crew– Cramped and
uncomfortable– Not a very large
range

• Controlled from surface ship or with-in submersible
• Often carry camera, remote arm, collection devices, etc.
• Can be used to explore places too small or dangerous for
submersible

• Active Sonar– Emitting the sound and listening for the echo
to return
• Passive Sonar– Listening for sounds in the ocean (both
natural and man-made)
