Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Just a picture link II



Acrylic clamshell sub?  Is that the one built at Southwest Research?

Ty,

I just went and looked through there again. The Clelia is the ex-PC1204 and is
operational at Harbor Branch. Of course, Alvin is still going, and the acrylic
clamshell hull is Phil Nuytton's baby. All the rest of them are decommissioned
except for the JIM suits and the like, which are still being used (I think).

It's quite a distinguished list of subs on the decommissioned list, isn't it?
Trieste, Star III, Beaver, Deep Diver, Turtle and Sea Cliff, Archimede, Star
II, Deep Quest, Deep Jeep, Ashera & Mermaid--all fallen by the wayside. What a
shame!!!
