Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to an underwater device (12) which is intended to be towed by a surface vessel (10) and a handling system (20) which is intended to be installed on the surface vessel (10) and which allows the underwater device (12) to be stored and deployed, the underwater device (12) comprising a traction cable (18), a flexible elongate member (16) and a towed member (14) which is located between the flexible elongate member (16) and the traction cable (18) during use of the underwater device (12), the handling system (20) comprising a first winch (24) for storing and deploying the traction cable (18) and the towed member (14) and a second winch (26) for storing and deploying the flexible elongate member (16). The underwater device (12) comprises an arm (30) which is articulated to the towed member (14) and to the flexible elongate member (16), in a first deployed position, the arm (30) being aligned with the flexible elongate member (16) allowing the first winch (24) to pull the entire underwater device (12), in a second position, the arm (30) being out of alignment with the flexible elongate member (16) allowing the alignment of the flexible elongate member (16) with the second winch (26).
