During 1992, the manned submersible
PC-1204 was renamed CLELIA and upgraded
by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution,
Inc. to provide the underwater research
community with a moderate-cost, high capability,
shallow-water submersible. This
paper will discuss the changes made to the
electrical and electronics systems to improve the
capabilities of the vehicle to perform
observations, collect specimens and samples,
and obtain qualitative scientific data. The
emphasis has been to retain the subsystems
that have proven to be robust and reliable, to
replace obsolescent subsystems which are
difficult to maintain, and to add a number of
1990's technologies to make the CLELIA the
most effective manned submersible capable of
operations to a depth of 1000 ft.
