Looks like the US Navy is doing initial testing this year on deep stop decompression schedules for new decompression tables. They have a request here, for Guinea-pigs volunteers but unlike paid medical testing you need to be US Navy to sign up.

"ALL DIVES ARE SQUARE DIVES TO 170 FSW FOR 30 MINUTES WITH 180 MINUTES OF DECOMPRESSION UTILIZING THE MK-20 FULL FACE MASK. DIVERS WEAR T-SHIRT AND SWIM TRUNKS WHILE FULLY IMMERSED IN 86°F (30°C) WATER THROUGHOUT EACH DIVE. "

It's not looking at pretty fish but in a "dive" wet chamber at the NEDU

Not sure when or if new tables will be published, but it will be interesting to see if they include RGBM bubble models or deep stops as part of the final products. Most newer dive computers now include the RGBM bubble model which also incorporates deep stops, where your first "safety stop" is roughly 75% of your max depth.

Technical divers, namely Richard Pyle, have been using this decompression strategy for years in a effort to avoid the bends. Deep stops and RGBM are now accepted in the civilian scuba diving industry, and it would be an interesting reversal of fortune if the military were to adopt this from the civies.
