Updated Graphic Submission?
Three new pieces of information have come to light in the last year that required an update to the prominent graphic at the top of the article. The new graphic has been submitted to Wikipedia Commons and can be found here:
File:World Deep Submergence Vehicles as of April 2020.jpg or https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World_Deep_Submergence_Vehicles_as_of_April_2020.jpg
The new information is: 1. The US Alvin is now in refit and will be rated to 6,500 meters. (See: https://www.capenews.net/falmouth/news/alvin-submersible-returns-to-woods-hole-to-complete-upgrade/article_a4f9ab26-0103-5fba-ae42-f008190c8902.html ) 2. The Oceangate submersible was downgraded to 3,000 meters because of "cyclic fatigue" (See: https://www.geekwire.com/2020/oceangate-raises-18m-build-bigger-submersible-fleet-get-set-titanic-trips/ ) 3. The Nautile from France is actually active, not retired (Author's personal inspection of the craft in Toulon, France, February 3rd 2020 and discussions with the staff of INFREMER, its operator)
If there are no objections, I will update the infographic with the revised, more accurate one within two weeks. Thank you. Or if someone else wishes to go ahead and upload it, great.
