Description Project FAMOUS, the French-American Mid-Ocean Undersea Study, offered the DSV Alvin the opportunity to participate in close-range studies and mapping of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge rift valley, 200 miles south of the Azores. Because the Ridge averaged a depth of 7200 feet and a maximum depth of approximately 12,000 feet, Alvin had to be refitted to meet the requirements of the new mission. In 1974, equipped with a new titanium personnel sphere capable of diving to 12,000 ALVIN joined the French submersibles Cyana and Archimede to look at one of the largest surface features on Earth. Project FAMOUS confirmed the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift.
