Even in WW2 the germans were experimenting with a
rubber coated submarine to defeat detection by radar.
Seems to me that we should not put all our trust in
sonar. All that has to be done is to bend that sonar wave around an object and
it will not bounce off it to return to the sonar man on board.
Hence....invisiblility.
We used similar technology in our stealth fighter
aircraft. Who would have thought years ago that a plane could defeat radar?
Kindest Regards,
Bill Akins.

Seems there is allot of dislike of the U.S. Navy.
However speaking off the record, it is very doubtful that any kind of
sub surface vessel could be used effectively against a US Carrier, due
to several reasons...most of which should be common sense...and some which
will not be spoken.
Regardless of no prop to move the vessel, if
moving, it will be detected by sonar, regardless of means or propulsion,
just like any other object in the ocean.

Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Seahorse news
Dubai is one of the safest place
in the world to live. Just not forget that the vehicle mostly used by
terrorist is a car, toyota or mitsubishi. The last concern of designers
(car, plane , boat) and now submarines is to the least criminal use of
their designs. Criminals have endless possibilities from toaster to people
to plant bombs so i am not going refrain myself against innovation
because of criminals. What is criminal is to not let ourself prepared
against such attacks, i designed a submarine specially to prevent
underwater attacks which has not received any interest from the all
powerfull US Navy. so i did my duty and i am not going to open a bakery
instead of selling subs because somebody, someday might use a sub to
blow up something. however Al quaida reportedly already has acquired mini
subs, which i know are not from me. My scubajet is a breakthrough in
scuba diving, it is a low profile light diver propulsion vehicle in a
ergonomic backpack including a BC with no hoses or consoles sticking out
(HUB), you control propulsion with a bite switch in your mouth piece
which makes it hands free. optional is a small LCD mask screen to display
info, depth, speed, air capacity. There is no props, it is true that if
used with a rebreather it is difficult to detect, remember that most
diver detectors are passive, listening to noises under the water, but
rather ineffective anyways in a port because of heavy activity generating
noises, active sonars to detect divers are also rather ineffective is such
shallow water. Best regards Herve
