Gentlemen
I would feel remiss if I didn't point out that at least south of the border "tea bagging" has a different connotation...just saying.
Best regards,

Yipes!!! "created mainly for tea-bagging"? Au contraire, Rick . . .the 
trusty ol' DW flies straight as an arrow in the hands of one with more than 
a few minutes of stick-time - as evidenced by the very large number of miles 
of cables and pipelineswe've flown and video'd and the miles of scientific 
transsects carried out for various government  departments of Fisheries, 
etc!
Regarding 'streamlining' - at the low speeds we operate, 2 knots or so,  a 
hydrodynamically streamlined fairing is not a requirement and would simply 
add extra weight for which we would to compensate with syntactic foam - 
which would increase the in-air weight, and so on.
For example: during a five year contract with NOAA, the DW 's surveyed all 
13 of the US National Marine Sanctuaries, mapped them and did critter 
surveys - all carried by some of the 300+ scientists that we've trained as 
DeepWorker pilots - I never  heard a single complaint about the subs ability 
to maintain a dead steady course.
Likewise. our current 5 year contract with NASA and the Canadian Space 
Agency. Go to Youtube and enter 'DeepWorker' and watch 'em fly!

Phil
