The US Navy and its Cable Cutting SubCable cutters have been of extreme interest to the US Navy. Operation of cable cutters is presently being extended to all depths of the world's oceans. The design and construction of cable cutters cover an extensive area of the engineering fields. The general method used for cutting is a mechanical technique usually involving a cutter impinging on an anvil to cut the cable or wire. In some cases scissor-like devices have been used.<a class="user" href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/dsv.htm">http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/shi ...</a>
