...Deepstar, which looks like a close cousin to Alvin, is being built by Westinghouse in collaboration with Jacques-Yves Cousteau, co-developer of the Aqua-Lung. It, too, has a streamlined outside hull containing a thick-walled pressure sphere to protect its crew. Its intended depth will be 12,000 ft., and it will have a claw like a giant lobster.
