The Torpedo Weapons Recovery Vessel, or TWR 841, is used for hauling and launching AUVs during AUVfest. It has an A-frame on the back, which can hoist large AUVs, like the 550-pound BPAUV. A small inflatable boat works with the TWR 841, launching the small AUVs, or “fish.” Image courtesy of AUVfest 2008: Partnership Runs Deep, Navy/NOAA, OceanExplorer.noaa.gov
