RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Anchor System

["Greg Snyder" <snyde032@tc.umn.edu>]

Hi Carsten-
Greg from MN here.
I have a cousin who is a captain for the Panama canal transport portion.
Apparently, the panama canal puts their own captains about each and every
crossing vessel - military and otherwise. Although I can't honestly see the
captain of a military ship tossing over the keys and saying "O.K. Skippy,
why don't you drive now..."
At any rate, let me know when you are going through the canal and we will
push them not to charge the taxes on humanitarian grounds ( furthering
relations and all that).
Most sincerely,
Greg Snyder

If I visit you in Florida with the CSSX - I will not dive for some
reason :

- Water deep is much greater than my test deep.
- If want to dive to US Waters - SOSUS will locate me and CG will sunk
me.
- The cargo hatch of the freighter were the sub is locate
  during this voyage over the Atlantic will prevent any
  diving manoever..

Will the USCG shoot down foreign submarines which are weelded with
their keels on a steamers cargo hatch ? Or should we have the
convention better in europe ?

Hey - my globe just a little right of my desk told me that the
Bering Sea is shallow - I can use the Panama channel..
Voyage underwater around the world - is there hydrogen available
in Alaska ? :-)

see you - Carsten
