	Bathyscaphe Trieste II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trieste II was designed by the Naval Electronic Laboratory, San Diego, California, as a successor to Trieste —the Navy's pioneer bathyscape.
		Subsequently shipped back to San Diego, Trieste II underwent a series of modifications until April 1965, when she was launched on 19 April to undertake the first of many dives as test and training vehicle for the Navy's new deep submergence program.
		The Trieste class DSV were replaced by the Alvin class DSV, as exemplified by the famous Alvin (DSV-2).

	Bathyscaphe Trieste
		Transported to a new base at San Diego, she was extensively modified and then used in a series of deep-submergence tests in the Pacific Ocean during the next few years, including a dive to the deepest known part of the ocean in January 1960.
		In late 1959 Trieste had been fitted with a stronger pressure sphere and was transported to Guam by the freighter Santa Maria to participate in Project Nekton - a series of very deep dives in the Mariana Trench.
		In appearance at the time of Project Nekton she was over 50 feet long, but the great extent of this was a series of floats filled with 22,500 gallons of gasoline to provide buoyancy and air tanks at either end of the ship.

		Trieste (Latin Tergeste, Slovenian and Croatian Trst, German Triest) is a city in northeastern Italy, capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and Trieste province, population 211,184 (2001).
		Through a long period of time, Trieste was seen as being peripheral to the centres of Italian commerce and culture, and lost influence—however lately it has been gaining influence as Italy's window to the east (former Yugoslavia).
		Trieste is unusual among Italian cities in that Italian and the local dialect are spoken in the city center and Slovenian is spoken in many of the immediate suburbs.

	Deep Submergence Vehicles
		In October 1959, after being fitted with a stronger pressure sphere, Trieste was transported to the mid-Pacific to participate in Project "Nekton", in which she conducted a series of very deep dives in the Marianas Trench.
		The bathyscaphe was retired soon after that, and some of her components were used in the newly constructed Trieste II.
		In June 1971 Trieste II was designated Deep Submergence Vehicle [DSV-1], and in May 1984 she was assigned to Submarine Development Group 1.

	Trieste
		The deep-diving research bathyscaphe Trieste was first launched in 1953 near Naples, Italy, by the Swiss scientist who designed her, Auguste Piccard.
		On October 2, 1959, Trieste was loaded onto the freighter Santa Maria for transport to the Mariana Islands for a series of deep-submergence operations in the Pacific Ocean, into the Challenger Deep, the deepest spot in the ocean identified by the British ship Challenger II in 1851.
		On January 23, 1960 — the day of Trieste's historic dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench — the waves were 5 to 6 feet high in the ocean when Jacques Piccard (Auguste's son), and Navy Lt. Donald Walsh boarded Trieste from a rubber raft.

		Initially the fund raising for building the Trieste was helped by an Italian professor from Trieste (hence the name) but the American Office of Naval Research stepped in when more serious finance was required for depth record attempts (hence the Walsh).
