Subwar 2050 anyone?

Oh the possibilities. How long before we get large nuclear powered submarine mother ships with these things going out for snooping?

Everything is capable of depths of 1000 ft or more, it's just what shape it's in when it gets there. But I have to agree with you SteamWake, not with me inside.

I prefer the one I'm already using....it carries an offensive capability and is a lot cheaper, needing only the price of a tv licence

Why not? 1000 feet isn't much for modern research subs.

So it can go to 1,000 feet, that's great.... until there is a malfunction.

I would be interested in the hemispheric pressure connection between the bubble canopy and the body. That must have been a bitch to design.
