Submarine Transfer Arrangement
"A transfer submarine and a submerged structure are constructed to facilitate transfer of personnel. The submarine is provided with a tethered ball at the end of a cable, and the submerged structure has a capture platform which has a slot for receiving the cable and restraining the submarine so as to facilitate alignment of a depending chamber of the submarine and an upstanding chamber of the submerged structure." 1971
