Oceanographers often say their underwater vehicles ?fly? through the ocean above the seafloor. Jaguar flew through the air. The helicopter delivered it to a pool of open water near Oden, where it was brought aboard as ice floes rushed in against the hull. During the expedition, Puma and Jaguar were launched eight times. To the relief and delight of WHOI scientists Rob Reves-Sohn and Hanu Singh, the number of recoveries equaled the number of deployments.
