The Scavenger class minisub is designed for support of underwater salvage operations. Its closed cycle fuel cell array can power the vessel for up to 96 hours underwater. Life support and accommodations are sufficient for up to 6 crew members for extended duration missions, and up to 12 if missions are restricted to 16 hours. The Scavenger has an adequate active and passive sonar system, as well as externally mounted lights to allow operation of the robotic arms to be controlled visually. Divers can be deployed via the airlock if operating at appropriate depths.
