Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] WOW!!! Cool Idea "was" Sub form as a float ship normal

Herve,

this sounds awsume, and the potential for other uses is pretty good
as well.  

Something like Proteus could be used for launching and recovering a 1ATM
submarine.  Not only does it avoid the hazards of lifting the 1ATM out
of the water on to the deck, but any items/samples picked up during the
excursion would stand a lot more chance of making out of the water
without getting knocked overboard.

Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing some pictures of this
vessel diving.

2006 Dubai sub convention, sounds great, but there is also the 2006 euro
sub convention, and I hope the 2006 west coast USA psub convention.  I
want to go to them all!

Cheers,
   Ian.
