 Deep Submergence Vehicles
The other two spheres originally fabricated for the Alvin were later used for the Navy's Turtle (DSV-3) and her sister ship Sea Cliff (DSV-4), built to a design similar to the Alvin.
During a 1972-1973 overhaul, a new titanium personnel sphere was installed in Alvin to double the sub's depth capability to 3,658 meters (12,000 feet).
This increase of 1500 meters over Alvin's limits provides access to 37% more of the sea floor, which represents an area that is greater than 90% of the surface area presently exposed on the continents.

The other two spheres originally fabricated for the Alvin were later used for the Navy's Turtle (DSV-3) and her sister ship Sea Cliff (DSV-4), built to a design similar to the Alvin.
While the Turtle is rated at 10,000 foot operating depth, Sea Cliff had her original HY-100 steel crew sphere replaced in 1983 with a titanium sphere capable of 20,000 foot operations.
Turtle and Sea Cliff have also been based from LSDs, or, more commonly, from Navy oceanographic vessels.
