Made by the Reynolds Aluminum Co, the Aluminaut was an experimental deep sea exploration submarine built in 1964. The Aluminaut is credited with rescuing the DSV Alvin-2 in 1969 after it sank, and helping to locate an atomic bomb lost off the coast of Palomares, Spain in 1966. Also featured in the film is footage of the NR-1, the Navy's nuclear powered research submarine, the bathyscaphe Trieste and Trieste II, and other vessels including the Perry Cubmarine. The film also includes footage of the Ben Franklin, a research vessel built by Jaccques Piccard which drifted in the Gulf Stream in 1969.

These Navy videos, even if they seem to be made for the general public, are extremely detailed and show stuff you can't see anywhere else.
In the 60s people's imaginations were stimulated by sheer reality. No cheap looking CGI for them. Amazing material.
Thanks for the vid.

I thought Pacific Rim was realistic, especially with Rhianna.

[@roberttrahan709]

Honored to have helped develop and test some of the systems on board.

Tell us more!

I remember seeing this film as a child. My father helped to develop the alloy used in the hull of the Aluminaut, and so we were invited to a meeting that showed the film. The ship is now "retired" and on permanent display at the Science Museum of Virginia.

Glad you got to see it again. Thanks for the comment!

I used to read about these Deep Sea Vessels in various books in my teens. Now as a 60's Adult I have been searching UA-cam for these Deep Sea Craft movies. Rolex put one out on the Trieste. Thank you for posting this film on Aluminaut.

If you find this fascinating , read the book , Dark Waters the inside account of NR-1 . Written by the men who built and operated it , in Russian waters .

[@shaider1982]

Yup, I read it some years back. The recovery of the Tomcat that went overboard was riveting. Stories on the crew and Rickover himself was fascinating.

[@monostripezebras]

Super cool.. I love the cute little Alvin!

[@PLoWBoY618]

was an age of technical marvels those whom do a thumbs down are just children ....

The men who battled the mighty oceans and thrived upon and under her waves

All the submercibles and their missions were real bona-fide .But they were all a practical cover for Project Azorean. The find and raise sunk Soviet Golf class submarine K-219.

🚫 Yeah, that operation ended up being a failure. We spent loads of money recovering the less important half of an old, obsolete Russian submarine, made of technology that we'd already surpassed at least a decade or two earlier. No matter how they spin it, that money could've been spent more widely elsewhere. The ship that was built to recover the submarine was never again used by the US govt, and sat in mothballs for over 20 years, til leased for a pittance, and converted into a deep sea oil drilling ship for big oil..

Great to see the development but I think the hand mice could be easier to get too not relying on your mate every time to get it.

[@aikimechanic]

.....sorry but that is not NR-1

[@edwardsmith4557]

Didn’t see NR-1.

[@swingmanic]

America's Secret Submarine - An Insider's Account of the Cold War's Undercover Nuclear Sub by Lee Vyborny and Don Davis is a good read for those interested in this kind of stuff! - It gives a great insight into Admiral Hyman G. Rickover.

It’s allways man

[@RonJohn63]

19:11 "Not only submersibles, but *men*". Definitely the 1960s...

[@V0YAG3R]

RonJohn63 Yes. No purple, pink haired morbidly obese, pathological sociopathic feminists and brownshirts anywhere to bee seen 👌🏻

[@clearingbaffles]

Clic bait the best I saw was the NR-1/2

[@chrisstaylor8377]

We’re are the woman ?

[@RoonVonBismarck]

Women did not serve aboard submarines until the 90s.

[@Mike-tu7uw]

They were home tending to their children where they belong

Who oked selling taxpayer funded material to these clowns and why do we bother with a library of congress
