    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for launching a towable body from onboard a towing ship while the towing ship is underway. Inasmuch as the towable body has a tendency to swing from side to side due to motion of the towing ship as the towable body is being lowered into the water, stabilizing apparatus which is attached to the towable body is lowered into the water first, the stabilizing apparatus tending to damp the side to side movement of the towable body.

    Abstract: A jackup platform trailer for surface or undersea work is formed from a deck structure supported by a submersible flotation means. In a transport mode, the deck structure is linked via a gooseneck arm and swivel joint to a workboat. In an operational mode, the submersible flotation means is fully submersed to support the deck structure from the ocean floor, without need for an attached workboat.

    Abstract: A pressure-actuated release mechanism is assembled using a prebuckled pipe segment as a pressure-triggering mechanism. The trigger mechanism is employed to attach buoys to an offshore structure or pipeline under construction. The attached buoys move with the structure or newly added pipe string toward the sea bottom, easing the descent. As a preselected external pressure is sensed, the buckle in the pipe segment propagates and the trigger mechanism actuates, releasing buoys from the structure or pipeline as each buoy in turn reaches the same depth or pressure.
