Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Beneath the Blue
And you wondered what I was doing out there on those damned ships all that time?
As you watch these, folks, consider the fact that Florida Atlantic University, the new owner of HBOI, is in the process of selling that ship and sticking the subs into long term storage (read museum). As wonderful as the digital outputs from the multi-beam sonars and AUV mapping is, nothing even approaches those moments when the Mark I Human Eyeball (in Navy-speak) meets the sea.
Did anyone see a pile of ROVs in any of Phil's shops and shelves and storage bins? Nope. If he needs one, I suspect he knows right where to get it--but mostly he doesn't need one, or want one. These videos are wonderful examples of just WHY man-in-the-sea is so important. And maybe it is a little vindication for all the mad hours in the garage for a certain lunatic fringe that I could name. We're part of the equation, and we need to keep getting the word out.
Great stuff, Alec. Thanks for turning us on to it.

Guys, I found a JSL movie that's a must see. Simply fantastic. Take a look...
Also this other one by the same author:
On the second one, you might have to click the "HD is on" button to turn off high definition, depending on your download speed. This is just so much better than Youtube.
