The surface towing characteristics of the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) are examined for a variety of towpoints and ballast conditions. The results indicate that the DSRV may with care be successfully towed on the surface at speeds up to 3.3 knots. Using towpoints located on the forward hard ring, vehicle net buoyancies from 130 to 2730 pounds may be employed. Care must be exercised to avoid the regimes of lateral divergence and spontaneous submergence, the boundaries of each being defined. (Author)
