The objective of this manual is to provide information on environments, systems, and techniques relative to construction in deep ocean areas. Developments in Naval warfare have placed emphasis on the deep ocean areas as an operating environment; consequently, in support of these operations, there is a need for knowledge concerning methods of construction in the deep ocean. It is realized that these methods can differ markedly from those used in construction on land; therefore, in this relatively new field many deficiencies exist which can be reduced only by research and development. This will require considerable time; however, in the interim, construction must continue. Toward making this as effective as feasible, existing information has been reviewed and digested, and is presented in this manual. Information has been provided by scientists, engineers, and offshore operators; especially those engaged in petroleum production. Deep ocean construction is a logical extension of the responsibility of the Bureau of Yards and Docks for construction of Naval facilities. This manual should assist in meeting this responsibility by providing engineers, constructors, planners, and others engaged in deep ocean construction with pertinent information. (Author).

Technological development indicates that much of the naval warfare of the future will occur at deep ocean depths. Concurrently, there is a need for additional knowledge of methods for construction in deep oceans; therefore, the objective of this report is to provide information on environments and to describe systems and techniques developed for construction in deep ocean areas. This chapter contains environmental knowledge pertaining to waves and current action, salinity and temperature variations, bottom topography, marine organisms, chemical and physical properties of sea water, etc. In order to treat all of this data, it was convenient to first locate and distinguish the oceans and then describe the ocean bottom and ocean contents before finally describing the dynamic factors acting on the oceans.

Technological developments affecting naval warfare requirements and the demands of scientific programs have directed emphasis on structures in deep ocean areas. The over all objective of this manual is to provide information on environments, systems, and techniques relative to construction in such areas. This chapter contains data on buoys and deep-water anchorage systems, for the restraint of structures on the surface, on the bottom, and at intermediate levels. New concepts are considered, as well as extended uses of conventional shallow-water anchorages. Types and uses and the fabrication, installation, protection, and maintenance of promising systems are discussed from the standpoint of deep ocean applications. (Author).
