Introduction

Greetings to our members and subscribers! At Americans for a Stronger Navy, we’re committed to promoting Peace Through Strength. In line with our mission, we’re excited to share a revolutionary new dive suit system, Deep Sea Expeditionary with No Decompression (DSEND), recently tested by the U.S. Navy. The DSEND system offers enhanced safety and flexibility for deep-sea divers, a crucial component in the Navy’s mission to secure the seas and protect our nation. We hope this story will inspire you to learn more about the innovations and advances in the Navy and join us in supporting our mission.

Summary:

The U.S. Navy has successfully tested the Deep Sea Expeditionary with No Decompression (DSEND), a revolutionary dive suit system that offers enhanced flexibility and safety for deep-sea divers. The suit system maintains steady internal pressure, reducing the risk of decompression sickness and allowing divers to work for extended periods at great depths. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in partnership with other naval entities, the DSEND system is a game-changer for the Navy’s mission to secure the seas and protect the nation.

Innovative Design and Enhanced Safety Features:

The DSEND system includes a unique, hardened yet lightweight atmospheric dive suit featuring rotating, detachable joints for greater dexterity, flexibility, and maneuverability. The suit maintains one consistent pressure atmosphere, eliminating the risk of decompression sickness and reducing exposure to negative physiological effects associated with deep diving, such as cold and wet exposure.

Self-Contained Pressure Cocoon Increases Diving Time:

DSEND’s one-atmosphere environment encloses a diver in a stabilized pressure cocoon during the entire dive, allowing them to work at great depths for many hours and ascend without lengthy decompression. With a self-contained life support system, the suit system presents a solution to the limitations of traditional saturation systems used by the Navy, enabling divers to conduct harder missions by going deeper, executing faster, and operating longer.

Increased Flexibility and Reduced Fatigue:

The suit system features joints, grippers, and hand attachments made from novel materials that are strong, lightweight, and mirror the natural movements of human joints, reducing diver fatigue. The suit is also easier to don and remove and can be adjusted to diver size.

Realistic Operating Environment Testing:

During demonstrations at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit in Florida and NSWC Carderock Division in Maryland, DSEND divers completed various exercises, including pulling a mannequin from an aircraft fuselage, rigging wreckage for salvage, and traversing makeshift tunnels representing sunken vessels. In the next year, DSEND is set to undergo additional development, including at-sea demos in realistic operating environments.

Conclusion:

The DSEND system is a game-changer for the Navy’s diving missions, offering enhanced flexibility and safety features. By maintaining one consistent pressure atmosphere, DSEND eliminates the risk of decompression sickness and enables divers to work at great depths for many hours. We hope this story inspires you to learn more about the Navy’s innovations and advances and join us in supporting our mission to promote Peace Through Strength.

US Seizure of Oil Vessel Triggers Iran Tanker Capture

Frame grab from video released Friday April 28, 2023, Iranian marines rappel onto the Advantage Sweet, a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker’s deck in the Gulf of Oman.

The US seizure of an oil vessel carrying Iranian crude oil and bound for China triggered Iran’s decision to capture a US-bound tanker on Thursday, according to sources.

The US Department of Justice seized the tanker, the Suez Rajan, under a court order with the cooperation of at least one company involved with the vessel.

The tanker has been the subject of scrutiny since it was accused last year of taking on board a cargo of Iranian oil, then intended for China, from another ship near Singapore.

The US action towards the Suez Rajan sheds new light on Iran’s decision to capture the Advantage Sweet, a US-bound tanker of Kuwaiti crude that was chartered by Chevron.

The US interest in the vessel arose because the ship is owned by Fleetscape, an affiliate of US-based Oaktree Capital. That contrasts with the so-called “ghost fleet” of vessels usually used to move Iranian oil.

Key points:

  • US authorities ordered a tanker of Iranian crude oil to redirect towards the US, prompting Iran’s decision to capture a US-bound tanker of Kuwaiti crude that was chartered by Chevron.
  • The US Department of Justice seized the tanker, the Suez Rajan, under a court order with the cooperation of at least one company involved with the vessel.
  • The US seizure will raise questions about whether US-linked operators were given sufficient warning of the potential increased dangers of sailing ships close to Iran.
  • The Suez Rajan’s alleged involvement in the trade in Iranian oil was revealed in 2022 by United Against Nuclear Iran, a pressure group.
  • The US interest in the vessel arose because the ship is owned by Fleetscape, an affiliate of US-based Oaktree Capital.

Key takeaways:

  • The US seizure of the Iranian oil vessel triggered Iran’s decision to capture a US-bound tanker of Kuwaiti crude that was chartered by Chevron.
  • The Suez Rajan’s alleged involvement in the trade of Iranian oil was revealed in 2022 by United Against Nuclear Iran, a pressure group, leading to a civil legal action in Manhattan.
  • The US interest in the vessel arose because the ship is owned by Fleetscape, an affiliate of US-based Oaktree Capital, which contrasts with the so-called “ghost fleet” of vessels usually used to move Iranian oil.

Conclusion:

The US seizure of the Iranian oil vessel and subsequent retaliation from Iran highlights the tensions between the two nations and the increasing enforcement of sanctions on Iran. The involvement of US-linked operators and the alleged trade of Iranian oil by the Suez Rajan raises questions about the effectiveness of sanctions and the need for increased transparency in the shipping industry.

The Americans for a Stronger Navy’s mission to inform and inspire readers to subscribe is even more important in light of these recent events as a strong navy is essential in protecting the US’s interests and maintaining peace in the international waters.
