On
November 19, 2018 I commented that it is possible that US Navy information of an accuracy that couldn't be made public
was provided to the crew on Seabed
Constructor and/or Ocean
Infinity to find ARA San Juan.
Contact between the US
Navy and Ocean Infinity is quite public.

OCEAN INFINITY SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH US NAVAL METEOROLOGY AND
OCEANOGRAPHY COMMAND
23/07/2018
Ocean Infinity has signed a Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement with the US Naval
Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC), based at the Space Center in
Stennis, MS. During the next five years
the collaboration will focus on combining and expanding technologies relating
to a broad range of deep-water platforms and sensors focused on undersea data
gathering and analysis.
Ocean Infinity – the worlds’ most technologically advanced
subsea operator
Since its launch in July 2017 Ocean Infinity has developed
the next generation of undersea data gathering techniques. Over the course of the last 12 months the
systems and processes used by Ocean Infinity have changed materially from the
initial operational concepts and ideas.
Today, no one else in the world leverages underwater technology in the
same way. Ocean Infinity’s innovative,
dynamic and cost-effective approach to undersea data is of relevance to
everyone who has a need or desire to better understand the ocean and seabed
environment whether they be from the military, government or commercial
sectors.
CEO Oliver Plunkett of Ocean Infinity commented, “We are
very focused on being at the forefront of technology and this agreement to work
and share knowledge with the US Navy’s experts in underwater data is an
important part of maintaining our position as a world leader. The team at Ocean Infinity have high
expectations about what can be achieved and consider it a great privilege to
have been given the opportunity. ”
Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command Rear
Adm. John Okon, [photo above] commented
“This agreement is a natural fit between two entities striving to be at the
cutting edge. Our organizations are developing integrated operational
procedures which fully utilize the capabilities of autonomous platforms such as
operating multiple surface and subsurface vehicles at one time to rapidly
collect and disseminate critical bathymetric observations to the fleet.”"

The ARA San Juan search and discovery shows that navies can perform a humanitarian service in many ways.
