A method for pulling an autonomous submersible vehicle into a mother ship. The method includes the steps of letting out a floating line from the mother ship, allowing at least part of a capturing line to rise from the submersible vehicle using a capturing buoy, to cause the submersible vehicle to cross under the floating line in such a way that the capturing line with the capturing buoy becomes caught on the floating line, and to draw the submersible vehicle to the mother ship by pulling in the floating line.

The invention relates to an underwater work systemwith at least one autonomous unmanned underwater vehicleand one unmanned relay vehiclefloating at the surface of the water, which comprises a radio antennafor external communicationand a drive. The underwater vehicleis connected to the relay vehiclevia an internal communication device. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating an underwater work system. In order to create an underwater work system with an autonomous underwater vehicle and an unmanned relay vehicle floating at the surface of the water as well as a method for operating such an underwater work system, which provides an increased efficiency of the autonomous underwater vehiclewith short mission times, it is provided according to the invention that the relay vehicleis controllable by means of a control unitvia the at least one autonomous underwater vehiclein due consideration of navigation information
