}} | Australian Submarine Rescue Vehicle Remora (ASRV Remora) was a submarine rescue vehicle used by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) between 1995 and 2006. The name comes from the remora, a small fish that can attach itself to larger marine life, and has the backronym "Really Excellent Method Of Rescuing Aussies".[1][1]Remora was constructed by OceanWorks International of North Vancouver, British Columbia for the RAN, based on a diving bell.[2] The {{convert|16.5|tonne|adj=on}} vehicle was designed to mate with a submarine's escape tower, and could do this even if the submarine had rolled up to 60 degrees from vertical.[2][1] The vehicle can operate at depths over {{convert|500|m}} and in currents of up to {{convert|3|kn}}, and was intended for use below {{convert|180|m}}; the maximum safe depth for Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment.[2][7] The submersible carried seven people: an onboard operator and six passengers.[2] Those aboard Remora were kept under about five bars of pressure, and rescued submariners exited into one of two 36-man recompression chambers carried aboard the rescue ship.[2]Remora could be controlled from a containerised facility aboard the rescue ship, with power, control, and sensors fed through an armoured umbilical cable.[3][4] Twelve personnel make up the surface control complement, with this number supplemented by underwater medicine specialists and divers.[4] The entire setup (Remora, control centre, and recompression chambers) could be transported by road or sea, or loaded into C-130 Hercules aircraft.[3][5] Remora could be delivered to anywhere in Australia within 36 hours, and installed on a suitable vessel in another 25 hours.[5] The Defence Maritime Services tender Seahorse Spirit was designated the main tender for Remora, although any vessel with sufficient space to carry and deploy the equipment ({{convert|300|m2|adj=on}} of deck space, with {{convert|8|m}} minimum width) could be used.[6][4]In December 2006, the umbilical cable parted during an exercise off Perth, trapping two men at a depth of {{convert|140|m}} for 12 hours.[1] The men were rescued, but Remora was not recovered until April 2007.[1] The submersible was sent back to OceanWorks for repairs.[1] Although repairs were completed, Remora did not reenter service as the Det Norske Veritas classification society refused to certify the submersible; the launch and recovery equipment did not meet updated safety standards.[1] As of the end of 2008, Remora was in storage at Henderson, Western Australia.[1] To cover the capability loss, the Department of Defence arranged for the British LR5 submersible to be flown to Australia if submarine rescue was required.[1] In June 2009, LR5 was relocated to Australia on lease.[7] Remora was the basis for the United States Navy's Submarine Rescue Diving Recompression System.[8]Citations1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Stewart, Rescue system for submarines a failure
