At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

I can remember plotting the route from Sydney Airport to Garden Island in 1979/80 for DSRV transport. Certain roads had to be kept clear for large vehicle loads. Not sure what the status is now however.
All of our boats had had their escape compartment hatches modified to accommodate the DSRV. Some Boats were also modified to act as mother ships for DSRV. Quite a buoyancy calculation for the Jim.
