The surfaced and submerged towing characteristics of the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) are examined for a variety of towing ship fantail motions and regular waves. The results indicate that under the conditions examined, the DSRV will tow in a dynamically stable and predictable manner and that, in large waves, approaching those of a State 5 sea, a synthetic towline with a breaking strength of at least 150,000 pounds should be used to provide a satisfactory margin of safety against peak tension loads.
