The U.S. Navy's ALVIN (DSV-2) is still on loan to the Woods Hole Oceanographic institute, and was refitted in 2011. She began shallow diving operations in 2012, and is expected to be back at full depth capability by 2015.

ALVIN is no spring chicken though, and a possible replacement has been in the works for some time. However, given budget constraints, that'll likely get put on the back burner.

Importance of a submersible pump?

Submersible pumps can be applied to many distinct applications, from pumping large solids or grinding solids to smaller sizes, to transferring waste water at large flow rates or high pressures, to simply pumping up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank; depending upon submersible pump design. Some of the more common submersible pumps designed for specific applications include water submersible pumps, sewage submersible pumps, 12 volt submersible pumps, sand submersible pumps, irrigation submersible pumps, and solar submersible pumps. Solar submersible pumps, while not specific to an application, are best used for slow and steady water transference into a holding tank, but may also be used for direct pressurization applications.... that's my answer... shreya :)
