Ray
I would
respectfully like to nominate Cliff Redus and his R300 for the ‘The
Kittredge Award’.
The R300 is
a standout in my opinion as the applied technology and ability of this craft is
unequalled by anything yet produced by any P-Sub’s member.
Utilization
of Technology on this P-sub is incredible with joystick and touch screen controls
via a PLC setup. It also has a unique inverted Y finned tail, water jet
propulsion and a tear drop shaped hull and integrated safety systems. With
mission times of 12 hours and agile aircraft like manoeuvrability, Cliff has truly
created an “Underwater Spitfire”.
Regards,
Steve Pearce

Hi All,
Time for the 2007 Awards!
You are allowed to vote for one person per Award Category. You may mention
others but make it clear who your vote is for. Give me reasons why they should
be the winner since your remarks may tip the balance if I cast the tie breaker
.
You can either respond publicly to this mail or send your vote directly to ray@psubs.org.
I would like to have all votes in by Friday, 21 December 2007.
I will tally and announce the winners on Wednesday, 26 December 2007.
This schedule will give me time to order the awards before the end of the year
to get the costs into the 2007 PSUBS LLC budget.
Actual awards to go out when I get them and post pictures.
