    A group of crew members aboard a research or Coast Guard vessel are handling a yellow underwater glider or autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) on the ship's deck. Personnel wearing red immersion suits, safety helmets of various colors (blue, green, yellow), and life vests are collaborating to position or prepare the device. Large yellow buoys and oceanographic equipment are visible in the background, suggesting a scientific or survey operation at sea.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) carry a sea glider to the stern of the ship Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, approximately 100 miles northwest of Barrow, Alaska, in the Chukchi Sea. Sea gliders are semi-autonomous submarines used to measure water conductivity, temperature, depth, oxygen and other measurements in the Arctic Ocean. Once deployed, the sea gliders are controlled by pilots in the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle. Approximately 30 scientists are aboard the Healy to study stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting ice research in the Arctic.
