For underwater robotics, due to the GPS denied environment, other forms of measurement need to be considered. One such sensor in underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) is the DVL which can be used to provided position and velocity information for the vehicle.
I'll also put down several other sensors that HoloOcean implements that we don't (this is not really a request for these tho) AcousticBeacon, Pressure/Depth?, ImagingSonar, OpticalModem, ProfilingSonar, Sidescan, SingleBeamSonar. The sonar sensors should already be tracked in previous issues, however, HoloOcean claims they have a novel method of simulationg/representing sonar via octree's that could be important to understand and look into for our sonar plugins.

Implementation suggestion
HoloOcean is a simulator which does have an implementation of a DVL, referencing it could be helpful in implementing it in gazebo:
