Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub at Portland, OR boat show
Lew - the answer is simple ..
Paul Moorhouse of Marlin Subs (England)is the designer and
builder of S101. It is not a USSub. Later he worked on the
bigger luxury subs (Phönix and other projects only) of USsubs
as principal engineer. I am not sure about that - but I think
USsubs never build really a new sub from own design - but the sales
and refit obviously some other second hands - special tourist subs.
Translation request : some other words for scary ?
