Wow, I really like those you posted up, DJ. If I were a rich man, I'd be typing this from one of the two stateroom equipped subs as I speak. Living the life of Capt. Nemo would be a DREAM come true for me.
I almost laughed when, reading about the Phoenix 1000, I read the part about a 'mini-sub' dock. Can you imagine having not only your own personal sub that could dive to 1000ft, but also your own personal Mini-sub that could go to 2000ft?
The places you could go! The things you could see! Just imagine tripping out an unwary Akula in that thing! You could SEE it, but they would have to depend on instruments to detect you, and would be wondering what the heck you were...lol
Jeez, thanks for sharing those, guys, I'm sure I now know what I'll be dreaming of tonight.
