What is the name of Jacques Cousteau's ship?

The Calypso. The craft is still extant, tied up somewhere. She was converted from a small French Minesweeper- thus an ocean-going craft. an odd Cousteau feature was a pulpit bow- an observation station- dry from which crewmen and/or cameramen could photograph sea life and observe same while the ship was underway- with a slight speed penalty from drag, one would imagine. This device was probably patented and was shown to advantage in the film ( The silent world) original French title more accurately translated-The World Of Silence- which has a sort of religious, monkish tone.No, I do not mean Monk seals, which are anything but silent-chanting!
