ALVIN AND ATLANTIS RETURN TO SEA
Research vessel Atlantis returned to the ocean on July 16 after a yearlong $50 million midlife refurbishment at a shipyard in Washington state. The project modernized the ship’s infrastructure, habitability, and science capabilities and will enable it to serve ocean science for another 20 years or more. Concurrently, the human occupied vehicle Alvin has been upgraded to a new operating depth of 6,500 meters. Atlantis and Alvin were reunited in late August and head to sea this fall for engineering and science verification cruises.
Swimmers Jefferson Grau and Pat Neumann.
