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.

Herve
