Trieste var en batyskaf designad av Auguste Piccard och byggd i Trieste i Italien, 1953. USA:s flotta förvärvade farkosten 1958. 1960 blev den den första bemannade farkosten att nå världens största havsdjup, Challengerdjupet i Marianergraven i Stilla havet.[1] Batyskafen är sedan 1980, utställd på National Museum of the United States Navy i Washington, D.C.

Bathyscaphe Trieste, a Italian-built deep-diving research submersible vehicle, which with its crew of two reached a record maximum depth of about 10,911 metres (35,797 ft), in the first descent of the deepest known part of the Earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific, on 23 January 1960. It is being hoisted out of the water in a tropical port, circa 1958-59, soon after her purchase by the US Navy. The craft consists of a 2 meter spherical steel pressure vessel constituting the 2-man crew cabin, made to withstand the extreme pressure suspended below a large tank of gasoline making up the bulk of the vessel. The gasoline being lighter than water makes the craft buoyant, while its incompressibility withstands the pressure of the surrounding water without requiring a heavy pressure vessel.
