I will add subtitles, but I dont have the software to do that....anybody know of any free software that can do this?

Nice video and a great achievement even if it was celebrated with a can of Coca Cola.

How many people were down in there during the test?

Great stuff McBeck! good to see it passed what would have to be the main test,

I assume no leaks!!!

Any other inspections, trials, tests etc before she is classified as sea worthy?

There were 2 minor leaks. One from the control to the main ballast tank, but that we because there was a missing plug.
The second was from the driveshaft, because it needed to be tightened.
Both are fixed now.

Good to hear, keep us informed with any new developments.

Brilliant vid and congrats all round!

Good to see she trimmed out alright after the first couple of mishaps

Task Force · 10-31-08, 04:30 PM

Nice sub.

Glad to see all went well (other than the trimming issue)

Great stuff. Hope I can make it over to Denmark next year to see her in person.

Excellent! Congratulations! All you need now are a few torpedo tubes in the bow to balance out your boat!
