| A remotely controlled submersible with a circular profile. A shaft crosses the submersible at the center on the pitch axis that is fixed to the external shell holding the thrusters. From this shaft the framework of the submersible hangs with all of the essential components and any additional weight required gaining the desired buoyancy. A motor such as a servo motor is mounted to the framework and is coupled to a gear, sprocket or pulley that is fixed on the center shaft. When activated the motor rotates the shell of the submersible along with the thrusters to the desired pitch while the internal frame remains low. The design of the submersible external body in relation with the internal body allows the submersible to pitch and maintain stability with a fixed center of buoyancy and center of gravity. | ||||||

| A system and method provides automatic monitoring of data representing the onset of, or occurrence of fault conditions for a submarine mast system. The system is separately programmable and transparently operable with respect to the mast host system that controls mast functions. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of sensors are in communication with a microprocessor system to record data by time and date of the event. The communication of data from the sensors to the microprocessor is electrically isolated from control signal communications to mast components, and the sensors are further individually opto-isolated. The microprocessor may selectively transfer data on a time-shared basis over host system communication lines to an independent memory collecting submarine fleet data, as an aid in fleet-wide maintenance decision making. | ||||||
