Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] New detailed pictures of the Marlin S1 01 sub in Seattle, Wa

Vance.....I'm guessing lot's of acrylic then, either hull or domes.

Did a quick search on google images to see if I could find it being deployed from the yacht "Octopus". Didn't find it, would be interesting to see what that looks like.
