Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Newest sub

Wasn't this done in WWII?
I recall reading of it, that was also the era when some German tanks had submersible capabilities because they were too heavy for some bridges. AIR the early Tiger tanks had that capability and I have also read that the Wehrmact had some tanks they sued to cross river Bug at start of invasion of USSR.
I recall a comic book from the 50s (how's that for a factual info source?) showing such a jeep in use, I can't recall what the driver used for breathing...Maybe it was used in Holland after the Germans broke some dikes to delay Allied troops.

I'm not sure how we missed this, but a tinkerer has fabricated an innovative small recreational submarine from military surplus parts and proven its dive capabilities. The sub's propulsion is provided by internal combustion engine in a compartment separate from the occupants, and there appears to be no risk of exhaust poisoning or fuel tank explosion. It looks like the sub cabin can carry one pilot, three passengers, with plenty of room for equipment
