If I told you I'd have to kill you... Just a lot of research, learning and innovation in all aspects of oceanographic sciences! There an entire subsection of the building working on AUVs like Boaty McBoatface and the instruments and sensors they use. The best bit of the building however is the door that I found in my first week working there...

Those old 'uns are going again. This time 91 year old US comic actor star Jerry Lewis: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40994864
And in an infamous story, the USS Indianapolis has been found after 72 years at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The historic significance is that it carried the atomic bombs parts for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was sunk in July 1945: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40991326 The equally disturbing element is that 1,196 men went into the sea and only 316 were rescued after 4 days. This was shark infested waters and they took plenty. If you remember Robert Shaw tells the story in the film Jaws
Had a great career, but will always be known as the man who turned down 'Some Like It Hot'....a terrific film. He says Jack Lemmon sent him commemorative chocolates every year until he died.
Stick with me, honey child....you will learn so many things that will be of absolutely no use to you at all.
