Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Submarine Prowling Lake - Caveat Lector: Hoax orEarly Warning?
Maybe its true and we should all get Govt. Funding to construct our own
fleet of counter-terroism PSUB's . After all
"they're not sure how many subs might be down there. There could be dozens
of these things"
A fleet of privately owned / operated PSUB's is just what is needed I
believe!!!!!!!
