The ship's homeport is located at the NMFS Pascagoula Laboratory in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Gordon Gunter operates primarily in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, and Caribbean Sea. The ship conducts scientific surveys of the health and abundance of fishery resources and marine mammals. The vessel is operated by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations. DeepWorker 2000 (600m Depth-Rated) Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) 2018-05 creation DeepWorker 2000 600m DeepWorker 2000, or "DW", is a 600m (2,000ft) rated ocean exploration human occupied vehicle (HOV) built by Nuytco Research. Operating from multiple platforms, including NOAA Ships Gordon Gunter and R/V McArthur, DW is a completely self-contained, lightweight, directly operated submersible. A 30-in-wide acrylic dome serves as the entry hatch and provides the single pilot with a fantastic 250-270-degree field of vision. DW's two horizontal and two angled vertical thrusters, controlled by foot pedals, allow for extreme maneuverability at a speed of 3 knots in any direction. Its communications systems include VHF multi-channel radio for surface communications, and an acoustic through-water telephone for subsurface communications. Additional equipment includes sonar, HD cameras, a manipulator arm, tracking beacon, a precision laser measuring system, scanning sonar, and scientific sampling equipment. All equipment from onboard computers to air supply tanks have been miniaturized, allowing explorers to go deeper, and spend more time below the surface than they can with traditional scuba equipment, greatly enhancing exploration and research opportunities.
