Happy Berth-day, SuBastian! On 4/24/2016, ROV SuBastian hummed to life. Since then, the world has gotten to see the seafloor & many of its inhabitants through the “eyes” of our robotic guide. We're excited to celebrate SuBastian, scientists, pilots & crew members who are exploring our unknown Ocean.
