Searching Oceans Grows To Rival Space Effort
WASHINGTON, D. C., — Alcoa has taken three major
steps to broaden its diversification into oceanography —
the growing new field of sci-'
entific endeavor, the magnitude of which promises to rival the space effort within a
decade. ;
The moves involve:
FORMATION of a new company, Ocean Search, Inc., to
engage worldwide in a variety.
of exploratory projects related
to ocean environment and its
enormous potential for mankind’s welfare. Ocean Search is
a joint venture of Aluminum
Company of America and Ocean
Science and Engineering, Inc.
of Washington, D. C., a pioneering global leader in oceanography in which Alcoa has had an
equity interest for more than
a year.
DESIGN and construction of
the all-aluminum ALCOA SEAPROBE, largest and most advanced deep ocean search and
recovery surface vessel ever
planned, with capabilities of recovering 200-ton payloads from
6000-foot depths.A PROGRAM of intensified
research and develdpment in
the area of new aluminum
marine alloys and products for
a host of existing and potential
on-surface and undersea applications.
Spearheading Alcoa’s expanded involvement with
oceanography will be the ALCOA a ag
symbolizing the ip’s que
eae and capabilities. Construction by a shipyard yet to
be named is scheduled to begin in October, and the vessel
is to be fitted out and ready for
sea trials by May, 1970.
Hull and superstructure of
the 244-foot vessel will be of
Alcoa-developed aluminum
marine alloys, making it the
largest all-aluminum vessel yet
to be launched. With its 50-foot
beam, nine-foot draft, and 2000ton displacement, it will constitute a trail-blazing “State of

the Art” use of aluminum,
much as the 30-story Alcoa
. Building in Pittsburgh achieved
the technological breakthroughs which, since 1952,
have inspired the construction
of hundreds of aluminum-clad
skyscrapers.
Utilizing patented OSE tech:
niques and equipment, ALCOA
SEAPROBE will possess the
ability to hold its position in
rough seas; search, core, drill,
and sample mineral deposits
on the sea floor; locate and re’ trieve heavy objects more than
a@ mile beneath the surface;
and to perform other research
and exploratory oceanographic
functions. No existing or proposed ship has anything approaching these capabilities.
To accomplish its. multiple
tasks, the vessel will constitute
@ floating complex of sophisticated electrical and electronic
gear manned by 40 scientists,
technicians and crewmen.
Powered by diesel electric
generators giving it a 10,000mile 45-day cruising range, the
ALCOA SEAPROBE will be
equipped with radio telephones, radar, sonar of several
frequencies, undersea cameras
and television, and a variety of
special-purpose retrieving
equipment.
While the ALCOA SEAPROBE’s precise missions are
yet to be determined, they are
expected to involve priority undersea geological explorations
in behalf of Alcoa’s unceasing
quest for new mineral resources. Ocean Search, Inc. also
plans to operate the ship under charter on a variety of projects. These could include undersea drilling for oil, gas, and
‘mineral deposits; the salvage
of valuable weapons and objects lost beneath the sea on
U.S. Navy and Atomic Energy
Commissiontest ranges; and
deep marine archaeology to recover historically valuable ‘art
and other treasures.

OCEAN DEPTHS UNEXPLORED since the beginning of time
will soon come within man’s reach. Objects 6000-feet down and
weighing as much as 200 tons are within the search and recovery

this artist’s sketch. Most advanced craft of its type ever designed,
the ship will be built and put to sea within two years.
