Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] escape question
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
I know 2 incidents where subs were ditched then salvaged.
The Alvin sank and sat on the bottom for a year in the 1960s. I don't
remember the entire story, it's in the book "Water Baby".
The other was a sub some friends sank in a canal in the Florida Keys. An
external battery pod exploded and the sub sank in the canal. The sub was
quickly raised.
