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?.

Steve

Awards voting starts now
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.
