Abstract
A deep underwater sphere is constructed of a plurality of spherical sections. Each of these sections has a spherical shaped frame made of a plurality of radially arranged trusses with an outer metal shell and an inner metal shell attached to the frame. Adjacent sections are interconnected by connecting selected trusses from each of the sections together. The space between the inner and outer metal shells is filled with a high density mixture which serves to impart resistance to compressional forces placed on the sphere and additionally serves as a ballast for securing the proper specific gravity for sinking of the sphere.
