Goldfish-class ROUV
The Goldfish class (金鱼, Jin Yu, or JY for short) remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) is a class of light ROUV developed by the Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA, 沈阳自动化研究所)[1] of the Chinese Academy of Science.The Goldfish class ROUV is designed to be a man-portable system that can be rapidly deployed without the need for extensive ship-borne or shore-based logistic support.During its deployment, it often operates in conjunction with more advanced ROUVs, and serves as a search vehicle to gather information.Goldfish class ROUVs also have civilian applications, including for underwater archeology missions in Fuxian Lake.[2][9] Media coverage of the Fuxian Lake project revealed the existence of the Goldfish class ROUV to the general public for the first time.
