Abstract
The electronic control and communication equipment of the SIR ERIC SHARP are described. The vessel is the latest addition to the world's small and highly specialized fleet of cable repair ships and is the most advanced of her type ever built. (It is noted that one of the reasons that cause subsea cables to need repair is shark attack. The optical fiber cables that are replacing traditional coaxial copper cables are proving irresistable to hungry sharks, who bite through them.) The ship's array of highly specialized electronic and mechanical equipment includes a repair robot, a computerized maneuvering system, satellite communications, facilities for testing and repairing optical fiber cables, and a flexible diesel-electric propulsion system.
