Summary
DescriptionROYAL NAVY SURVEY SHIP SPOTS UNDERWATER MOUNTAINS MOD 45158386.jpg |
English: Captured by one of the Royal Navy’s survey ships HMS Enterprise, one of the two seamounts recorded – the technical name for underwater mountains – was measured at 1100m which is taller than Mount Snowden.
This stunning image of what appears to be a large mountain is actually an underwater scan of the seabed off the coast of Northern Africa. While intriguing structures the seamounts pose very real dangers to shipping, and although they have been spotted previously, with HMS Enterprise’s specialist equipment they are now firmly on the map. Using a hydrographic multi-beam echo sounder to send out multiple beams simultaneously, the ship’s expert team can create this incredibly detailed result . HMS Enterprise was launched at Appledore in Devon in 2002 and is designed to carry out a wide range of survey work, including support to submarine and amphibious operations. She set out in September 2013 with a new state-of-the-art survey motor launch, for a nine-month deployment to carry out survey work in the Middle East, updating maritime charts for all seafarers. Enterprise's survey motor boat, SMB Spitfire, is capable of operating independently from the ship, supporting a small group of surveyors who can live and work ashore to carry out large-scale or beach surveys. She is the second Royal Navy ship (after sister HMS Echo) to use azimuth thrusters, where the propellers are part of a swivelling pod, allowing for precise manoeuvring. She is also capable of acting as home for a mine countermeasures command team. Since her first operational overseas deployment to the Mediterranean in late 2004, Enterprise has worked in the Gulf of Aden and Somali Basin, through West Africa to the Republic of South Africa, and off Iraq.
