<DIV>Jon . . ahem, ahem, (jes’ clearin’ ma throat) Nuytco has<FONT
color=#000000> always</FONT> been at the UI submersible track – year after year.
This year we’ll be talking about our 2013 work surveying and videoing the WW2
Normandy Invasion fleet, most of which is still underwater. This was for History
Channel and will air this year – the 70th anniversary of Juneau,Omaha, Sword,
etc. The shots of the Sherman tanks laying higgeldy piggeldy (sp?) all over the
bottom are incredible. Jeff Heaton, Nuytco’s senior ops manager had the unusual
pleasure of using ‘Aquarius’ to take down a 92 year old – survivor of the
invasion who was last there in 1944 aboard a small submarine, two days before
the invasion - to set lighting on the bottom to guide in the troop carriers (the
original schedule called for a night landing) – the story of he and his crew
lying doggo on the bottom for nearly two days offshore of the landing site as
weather changes kept re-arranging the schedule – specially as they had to
surface at night to get communication on the changing plans – well, it’s
quite a story! </DIV>

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix><BR>I think others will agree, the majority of
attendees are there for ROV related sessions. I have only ever attended
the manned vehicle sessions and never experienced an issue of not having a
seat. The convention center and session rooms are not small...we're not
talking PSUBS size event here. The technical session rooms have seats
for...I'm guessing...200 people? And there is plenty of "standing room" if
all the seats were taken. <BR><BR>ABS reps usually attend because they
have discussions about proposed rule changes...can't recall the gentleman's name
at the moment. I don't think I've seen a sub manufacturer other than Will
Kohnen (seamagine) whom is the coordinator of the manned vehicle sessions at the
convention.<BR><BR>You'll have a good time there. It's worth the trip and
