The Role of Submersibles in the Development of Deep Ocean
During last years many great discoveries were done in world ocean. Most essential from them – discovery of hydrothermal fields on ocean floor. Besides that, great jump was done in practical development of oceanic depths in aspect of the searching of mineral and energy recourses and of the mining of them. It was came possible thanks to implementation of new technical means, mainly of underwater vehicles. At present paper, the role of underwater vehicles of different types on some steps of searching operations, of detailed research of local areas of the ocean, of organization of mining of the mineral and energy recourses are considered. Data of the use of different types of underwater vehicles, effectiveness of their use for different purposes are considered.
