Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 51, No. 1, pg. 8-9 timeline:
2014: A new personnel sphere is added with 18 percent more interior room and two new forward viewports. The new sphere was designed to reach depths of 6,500 meters. Also added were an auto-command- and-control system, high-definition imaging systems, LED lights, and a larger payload basket.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 51, No. 1, pg. 18:
As Alvins new sphere was being built and tested, more than 100
engineers and technicians at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution mustered to design, modify, build, and test an array of systems to accommodate the new sphere and make other substantial improvements to the sub. In the following pages, many of them tell us, in their own words, about their roles in the project.
