>Congratulations Peter!  The Nautilus takes psubs to a whole new level.  Do you have any new pics of her after she was painted and before she was placed in the water?  The last pics I saw of her was when she was rolled out of your shop but before paint.  Any pics of her surfaced with blow MBTs or video clips of her sea trials?  I am hoping I am not asking for pics you have already provided as I have been offline from psubs.org for 3 months because AT&T decided psubs was spam.
