RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Boat-Sub makes successful test dive

Thank you for the interesting links Jay. I hadn't kept up on the progress of the Marion Hyper-Sub. I've been interested in that front window design, since I first saw it. I would like to see a stress analysis on it as well as see how it's sealed at the edges. Here is a interesting link to there patent data on Google Patent search. The drawings are interesting.

Looks like the Marion Hyper-Sub has made a successful test dive. Unit suppose to make 35 kts. on the surface and 5 kts. underwater.  Will be interesting to see if the prototype can reach these speeds.  Appears to use dual Arneson-style surface piercing propulsion units for on the surface.  See www.hyper-sub.com for further info and images.  News articles at: Boat-Submarine Combo Takes To Water

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not plunge.
