Seven tourist submersibles have been operating in U.S. waters, and their safety record has been good. The primary concern, however, is that regulations and procedures will ensure that future submersibles builders and operators meet the same or better standards than are found in present operations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume examines the development of the tourist submarines industry throughout the world and explores the problems involved with strengthening the Coast Guard's capability of providing the oversight and expertise needed to certify and inspect tourist submersibles. It identifies the needs for system redundancy, hazards analysis, and quality control and recommends ways to enhance emergency rescue capabilities and management of passenger safety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also addresses concerns about small two- or three passenger submarines that do not now fall under the Coast Guard's safety purview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Commission on Engineering and Technical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309042321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309042321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.39d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742212174079,"sku":"9780309042321","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/safety-of-tourist-submersibles-national-research-council-9780309042321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
