Topic: Dolphin AGSS 555


  
  USS Dolphin (AGSS-555) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Employed by both civilian and Navy activities, Dolphin is equipped with an extensive instrumentation suite that supports missions such as acoustic deep-water and littoral research, near-bottom and ocean surveys, weapons launches, sensor trials, and engineering evaluations.
Because she was designed as a test platform, Dolphin can be modified both internally and externally to allow installation of up to 12 tons of special research and test equipment.
Thach (FFG-43) came alongside Dolphin to assess the submarine's status, but the seas were too rough for recovery or towing operations.
