ABSTRACT:
A cage to retain an undersea vehicle therein and tether reel-in and play-out mechanism is provided. The cage includes a latch for retaining the vehicle in a "garage" portion. A tether drive assembly reels in and out the tether line through a bale which cooperates with a narrow, annular drum to retain the tether line in an annular, cylindrical coil having a width of a single strand of line. The bail, with or without cooperation from additional means, winds and unwinds the tether in the drum.
