Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Towed, unpowered submersible (was: I was looking at the PX-15.)



Hi Mike.
 
Are you talking about the difference between a bathysphere http://www.submarinesonstamps.co.il/openhist.php?ID=114    and a bathyscape?   http://www.dolomite.demon.co.uk/ddu/trieste.htm
 
One is attached to the ship via a cable and the other is independent.
 
Kindest Regards,
 
Bill Akins.

So faR, all the ideas are for sumbersibles that are, to varying degrees,
independent of the surface.  What I'm thinking is that there is a place
for a towed submersible.

It's be a submarine without propulsion.   The only link with the
towboat might be telephone.  This is a way to spend time
submerged without motors, but where it could be used will
ncessarily be limited.
