''Turtle'' (DSV-3) is a 16-ton, manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy. It is sister to Alvin (DSV-2), and also an Alvin class Deep Submergence Vehicle. The ''Turtle'' was retired from active service in 1998. It now resides at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut The ''Turtle'' was designed to dive to 6000 feet. When DSV-2 Alvin installed a new titanium hull, the Alvin steel hull was installed in the Turtle. The Turtle depth rating was then increased to 10,000 feet. It has a hull 2 inches thick, and a hatch about 3-1/2 inches thick held in place by the pressure of the water above it (it is tapered, narrower inward). The ''Alvin-class'' DSV's were designed to replace older DSV, such as the less maneuverable Trieste-class bathyscaphes. ==Alvin class DSV== * DSV Alvin * DSV Sea Cliff * Nemo (DSV-5), retired 1998 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DSV Turtle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
