Launch and recovery vessel

An apparatus for and method of docking and recovering a submersible by a surface vessel reduces the possibility of damaging the submersible and injuring the crewmen. The submersible approaches its catamaran recovery vessel from between the sterns of the twin hulls. Both craft continue to proceed underway and a yoke connected to opposite sides of a well cover is coupled to the nose of the submersible. As the well cover is slid forward to expose a recovery well, the submersible is towed forward. One end of a hoisting cable is attached to the submersible and the other end is connected to a biased hydraulic-ratchet purchase. The submersible is buoyed to the water-air interface and, as it pitches and heaves in response to surface wave action, the hydraulic-ratchet keeps the cable taut. This gradually lifts the submersible through the water-air interface because the hydraulic-ratchet is designed to allow only upward motion. A source of pressurized hydraulic fluid coupled to the hydraulic-ratchet ...

Movable bulkheads for mother ship system - divide partially filled loading deck and prevent build-up of waves

The LASH ship has a through hold into which the lighters are floated and in which they remain floating during the trip. The lighters are secured on the sides of the hold and help in the buoyancy of the ship. If the ship is partially filled with lighters then the water level in the hold can cause large waves and subsequent instability. This is prevented by a series of movable bulkheads (41) which are dropped down into transverse settings across the floor of the hold to divide up the empty sections. The bulkheads are raised and pivoted into horizontal settings to allow the lighters to float out.

Patent FR2019721A1

Recovering a submarine by manipulation from a ship - by lifting from a submerged position at a specific rate, greater than that of the rising of the swell

A small submarine is recovered from the sea by submerging the submarine so that it is in a calm zone at a depth 3-5 m below the mean surface of the sea, attaching a lifting cable to it, maintaining the cable at a constant tension, drawing up the submarine at a lifting speed greater than that of the rising of the swell of the sea and depositing it on the deck of a ship. The submarine is brought to the surface to attack the cable and a guide cable is passed from a winch through a channel in a grab attached to the lifting cable. The grab is slid along the guide cable up to the submarine and bolted to it. The guide cable is freed and wound on to its winch. The submarine can be recoverd from aft of the ship or from the side, while the ship is under way or stopped. Movements of the submarine while it is suspended are limited. People, e.g. divers, other than the crews of the ship or the submarine are not needed and the operations are under the control of one man.
