And the one I forgot is the SeaMagine series. I've talked to these guys a lot 
and they have been a big help supporting me with information as I am using 
one of their subs (albeit on steroids) in the novel I have been writing. These 
subs have bladders for MBTs and are ballasted light (about 50# is the idea) 
then controlled vertically through the water column with a vertical thruster. 
Pretty slick idea for their purposes--if anything fails, the sub naturally heads 
up. My fictional variant has a trim system, however.
