FR 08B/86 (alternative identifier: FR198608-B)
Period: 1986-10-15 00:00 to 1986-10-19 00:00 Local
Duration: 4.00 days
From: Hobart To: Hobart
Region: Maria Island, Hobart
Ship: Franklin [details]
Description: Cruise FR 08B/86 was undertaken to test the microfish pressure vessel and stainless-steel SDL pressure cast for water-tightness and deployment of 'Bunyip' (Seasoar vehicle and Microfish vehicle together) in deep water off Maria Island, Hobart. Microfish pressure testing was successful, but the lowering of the SDL pressure vessel proved that it had a tiny leak. The communication of data and commands between the ship and both fish operated successfully (although with intermittent crashes!) and spectra of the accelerometers in the microfish collected, this being a major objective of the cruise.
