Exxon Shipping Division Changes Its Name The shipping division of Exxon Corp. is changing its name from Exxon Shipping Co. to SeaRiver Maritime Inc. The reorganization, which was announced in February, was com- pleted on Aug. 1. Exxon operates dozens of tug-barge units on inland waterways, in addition to an ocean- going fleet of 13 tankers. UUVs To Figure Largely In Navy Minehunting Future Unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) are being looked to by the U.S. Navy to augment its ships' abil- ity to fight in shallow water contin- gencies and even surf zones. The Navy is relying on the Ad- vanced Research Projects Agency's (ARPA) attempts to develop one or more UUVs to thwart the threats of mines. The Submarine Off-board Mine Search System (SOMSS), a UUV, is designed to be launched, teth- ered or untethered from a Los Ange- les-class attack submarine, and lead the ship through a mine field or chart it for future reference/destruction. The SOMSS is designed to be launched and reacquired through its torpedo tubes. The SOMSS snakes away from the submarine it is teth- ered to and feeds information back to it by way of the ahead-looking and side-looking sonar in its nose, thereby leading the submarine through mined waters. When untethered, the SOMSS curls back and forth in front of the submarine, making note of the mine-shaped figures. The untethered version showed good success rate in correctly identifying mines when tested off La Jolla, Calif, recently.
