Instruments for use in the deep ocean must operate under great hydrostatic pressure. The current practice of enclosing instruments in pressure resistant housings may become obsolete since many electronic components have been found to operate satisfactorily even at a pressure of 1000 atmospheres. The instrument system which successfully located and identified the THRESHER hulk contains interesting acoustic, magnetic, and photographic sub-systems. The ship which carries this system has been uniquely configured for deep ocean research.
