Ungainly Bathyscaph To Probe Oceans Floor In Search For Sunken Sub Bv RAY CR0M1.EY WASHINGTON (NEA) - The weird bathyscaph Trieste was designed to discover how to make a new series of deep-diving, nu clear submarine hulls that could survive such accidents as sent the Thresher to the bottom. Now the Trieste will be used to searc h out a mile and a half be neath the sea what caused the nu clear attack sub to ro down. The ungainly bathyscaph. mci deniallv. mav turn out to be the most important item in the Navy's attempt to cnecKmaie me soviet undersea missile fleet. The Trieste has scarcely any undersea mobility, but it can go down seven miles with impunity. I: can stay down lour hours tak ing movies and still pictures. grasping samples from the ocean Moor, taking electronic measure ments and "listening." Powerful searchlights enable the two - man crew to see through the 54-inch thick. 4-inch wide windows. The crew also will be able to measure the radioactivity of tlie sea water and bottom sedi ment.1? to make certain the wreck of the nuclear-powered Thresher viil become no menace to life. The Navy hopes to translate the discoveries learned in workingl with this tough Trieste shell into submarines which can operate indefinitely and safely at depths nf unrevealed "thousands of feet." But even more importantly, the Trieste is the first of a series of deep-sea bathyscaphs which hope fully will discover enough of the nature of the ocean bottom and its geography so advanced U.S. suhs would be able to live, hide1 and hunt skillfully on the ocean bottom. They would have t h e "geographical" and environmen tal know-how to search out. "see" and kill enemy submarines. Yet Ihev would be able to lurk so Ideep in ocean valleys that it will be extrcmelv difficult for enemy suhs to find and kill them. But you would never guess this potential from looking at the awk ward Trieste. The main "hill?" is 57 feet long. 11 feet in diameter, made ot steel inch thick. It is di vided into 13 chambers, each sep arated into 13 chambers, each arated by corrugated steel bulkheads. In 11 of the compartments the Trieste carries approximately 30,- (KIO gallons of aviation gasoline Because gasoline is lighter than sea water, this gives the Trieste! Penneys 14.

Tokt elevator to all floon. a net buoyancy of 75 to 100 tons At seven miles under the sea the pressure on the hull is over eight tons a square inch. As the gasoline contracts, sea water flows in to create an even pres sure. The other two compartments are normally emptv when the Tri este rides on the surface. They are filled with sea water to take her down. In the hull also are 10 to 13 tons of small iron pellets the size of BB shuts. These are released lowly to control the speed of the dive or in greater numbers to ause the Trieste to ascend. Hanging below the hull is a spherical steel gondola about six feet in internal diameter, with walls 4;l4 to 7 inches thick. There are three officers quali fied to operate the Trieste. Two of these now form the Trieste crew" Lt. Cmdr. Donald Keach, the commanding officer, and Lt. George Martin. How will the Trieste operate in going down to look over the sunken Thresher? Lt. Martin will probably he as signed above to operate at the surface. Cmdr. Keach will probably take down with him a specialist on submarine construction who has some knowledge of metal fatigue. Capt. Harry Mason, command ing officer of the Navy electron ics laboratory at San Diego and normally responsible for the re search operation of the Trieste, says that getting the bathyscaph down a mite and a half and looking around is no problem. "She's been going down once a week for the past year." The problem, Capt. Mason says, is locating precisely where the sunken sub is with sonar. "Then you carefully ligure out ocean currents so vou'll know how far the Trieste will drift as it goes down." The Trieste, he says, "is somewhat like a balloon." If fig ured correctly, the current will carry the Trieste to the exact sxt where the Thresher lies. Capt. Mason calculates it should take somewhat less than an hour to reach bottom, though it may Uikc a number of tries to hit the Thresher area. Then the crow will have four hours of working time while the Trieste ho vers. Battery power enables the Triesle to do some moving. Before the operation starts, the two passengers will crowd into the ;mall steel gondola. They'll be well clothed because it's cold un der the sea and the gondola has no heating system. Tliey'll enter. to the gondola below. After thel by means o a tube slightly over passengers squeeze in, the tube two feet ill diameter that leads is filled with water to maintain down from the tup of the hull internal pressure. Apparatus in the Trieste regen erates the oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide to maintain a sup ply of "fresh" air.
