[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Russian Sever 2 submarine

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank, that strikes me as a herculean task. I looked her up, she's 85,000
pounds. Judging from the photo it looks like roughly 40,000 lbs of steel
and 45,000 lbs of rust. Methinks you're crazy. That's a compliment.

Best,

Alec
