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



Vance,
For the subs on the decom list, were they scrapped or are they lying around
some forgotten shipyard somewhere?  Maybe we could start a new page..."Have
you seen this sub?" or even better, have their pictures printed on the back
of  tuna fish cans...MISSING.  Oh well.
Later,
Ty

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? 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!!!
