Lambertsen In 1940 Dr. Lambertsen presented the concept of a closed circuit diving apparatus to the U.S. Navy for use in military operations. He saw a potential operational requirement for teams of underwater assault swimmers. The rebreather unit he developed was called the "Lambertsen Lung" and later the "Lambertsen Amphibious Respiratory Unit" (LARU). The navy never acted on Dr. Lambertsen's concept and instructors at the Naval Combat Demolition School in Fort Pierce, Florida, also rejected the use of closed-circuit apparatus. During this period ofWWII the Italian navy had developed an effective offensive capability using closed-circuit apparatus against the British. The British soon entered the arena to combat the Italian success, while America stood idle. Still convinced of the soundness of his proposals, Dr. Lambertsen approached the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) whose leadership had a much better understanding of his concept's potential.
