[PSUBS-MAILIST] Deep Quest recon mission



I drove down to Long Beach today to see Deep Quest.  There was a Swedish family living in the sub that were friends of the owners,  they spoke very little English but they knew I was coming so they let me look down inside.  
 
 I think there is very little value for this boat as a future submarine, unless someone wanted to put a pressure hull back inside. 
 
The only thing left of the sub is the outside skin,  which is just 1/4" steel welded into the shape you see from the outside.  No left-over equipment exists.  I'm not sure how they got the pressure hulls out of the sub, perhaps out the bottom, I didn't notice any re-welded areas where it would have been removed.  A floor has been put in so you can't see the bottom area.
 
I've posted some pictures on the moki,  the inside pictures didn't come out, but there is really nothing to see except junk.
