==Marine remotely operated vehicles== {{unreferenced section|date=April 2022}} {{main|Remotely operated underwater vehicle}} Small uncrewed submersibles called "marine remotely operated vehicles," (MROVs),{{cn|date=June 2024}} or 'remotely operated underwater vehicles' (ROUVs) are widely used to work in water too deep or too dangerous for divers, or when it is economically advantageous. Remotely operated vehicles ([[Remotely operated underwater vehicle|ROV]]s) repair [[Oil platform|offshore oil platforms]] and attach cables to sunken ships to hoist them. Such remotely operated vehicles are attached by an [[umbilical cable]] (a thick cable providing power and communications) to a control center on a ship. Operators on the ship see video and/or sonar images sent back from the ROV and remotely control its [[Marine thruster|thrusters]] and manipulator arm. The wreck of the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]'' was explored by such a vehicle, as well as by a crewed vessel.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}
