ABSTRACT:
A relatively short cable connects a surface vessel with an underwater vehe such that the cable does not assume a linear or straight path, but is instead provided with an arcuate shape to avoid snap loads in the cable. Floatation devices are secured to spaced locations on the cable to provide this non-linear cable configuration. The devices are balloons that exert restoring forces on the cable as required to avoid snap loads as the surface vessel heaves up and down due to wave action or the like.
