Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Russian Sub Sunk

    Well, all I have to say is amen to what you guys
said.  Although I was under the impression that the
US's DSRV's could only dock at a 20 degree list max. 
In any case, due to Russia's slow response out of fear
of hurting their pride or whatever, and their
economics, and their lag in technology, I think these
poor guys didn't have such great odds in the first
place.  God rest their souls.  
    Maybe us psubbers each should do a shot of vodka
tonite, sort of a communal-cyber wake.
