An unusual naval visitor arrived on the Clyde and made her way to Faslane. ZEUS is described as a 'multi-mission cable ship' and was designed specifically for the role by the US Navy rather than being adapted from a civilian vessel. She was built by the National Steel and Shipbuilding Co at San Diego and was completed in 1984. ZEUS is operated by the Military Sealift Command and is manned by a non-military crew of 51, with 6 military personnel and around 30 scientists embarked also.
