I was just brainstorming and had a thought. I was reading through and noticed the discussion about hemp ropes and entanglement. I was wondering about the feasibility of deploying a remotely operated vehicle which was tethered to the sub. It could be hydraulically actuated from the sub and equipped with cutters. Think of it as an underwater jaws of life. My biggest concern is the hydraulic line. If the hydraulic line burst inside the sub, would the hose outside the sub crimp under the pressure, or potentially rupture; providing a clear path for sea water? How much external pressure can a hydraulic hose withstand? I now turn it over to the think tank.
