Zusammenfassung:	Method for making a remote controlled sub sea pipe connection between two pipe ends which may be relatively misaligned on a sea bottom comprising, providing a pair of mating coupling halves having misalignment capability for connecting together the pipe ends; lowering a remote controlled vehicle towards the pipe ends; installing a pipe coupling half onto each pipe end, and connecting the pipe coupling halves together and to the respective pipe ends by remotely operating the vehicle from the sea surface to thereby effect the pipe connection.
