Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] An Idea for a PSUB Periscope

[Gregc02@ibm.net]

Depending on what kind of resolution you need or want, you can buy a camera on a chip that's 
about 1" square and about 1/4" thick for around $100.00. Power for it can be inside the sub and 
you can build it on a fixed mount or one that you can raise and lower. It'd be fun to be able to 
say "Up Periscope". Now all I need is a Snorkle and a couple of little torpedoes that hit the side 
of someone,s boat and pop up a small "BANG" flag.
