Hello & welcome PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA. This is and rebirth of the USS DEEP QUEST submarine. Built by LOCKHEED CO. CA. & NY. in 1967 for the Navy....
The first Submarine to traval down the Harlem River
Built in Sunnyvale, California, Deep Quest was launched on 4 June 1967, and it operated from Lockheed's laboratory in San Diego. Deep Quest holds the depth record of 8,310 feet for U.S.-built submersibles; it planted a United States flag on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean on this historic dive on 28 February 1968. In 1969, it recovered the flight recorder boxes from two airliners that crashed in the Pacific Ocean. In 1970, it located the wreck of an F6F Hellcat, a WW II fighter plane, in 3,180 feet of water off San Diego. Deep Quest used its mechanical arm to attach a lifting sling that allowed the plane's recovery by the Navy. Deep Quest made its last dive on 9 September 1980.
