entify by blocf< nu 



In support of Navy underwater construction requirements, the Naval Civil Engineering 

 Laboratory has developed prototype high-power electromechanical connectors for use with 

 deep-ocean cable systems and structures. There are two basic connector configurations: one 

 for mating underwater (wet) and one for mating in air (dry). Both are designed for 360 kw, 

 60 Hertz, 4,160/2,400 VAC power at depths to 6,000 feet, with a mechanical breaking
