BREMERTON, Washington (April 1, 2019) Chris Stone, an engineering technician at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF), and Tyler Paine, an engineer at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Keyport, prepare the prototype hull-climber robot they designed for its first practical test on a submarine, the Seawolf-class attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22), currently in dry dock at PSNS & IMF for a maintenance availability. The hull climber robot is the result of a partnership between PSNS & IMF and the NUWC Division, Keyport that sought to design a system able to provide a faster, safer and more cost-effective method of completing required hull inspections on U.S. Navy submarines.
