[PSUBS-MAILIST] Alicia submersible

[jimtoddpsub at aol.com]

Hi Hank,

I think they made some passing reference in the video to the cost over-run, don't know if they recited the $2 million figure or not.  That would equate to about $2.47 million today.

Other stats:  18 tonnes, 37 feet long, tested to 1350 ft., 6 persons.  Marlin Subs was planning improved subs  (P7) in the series, but I don't know what came of it since they have developed several other types.

Jim

That is not a surprise,  Was that in the video, I skipped over some of it.
I am adding a couple of these guys to my hero list.

Cost over run took it to $2 million 10 years ago.

I don't think the overdramatized that truck load of money it took. Wonder when it was in the water last. Maybe they'd let us keep it at Jon's house in the Keys. We could hold our seminars underwater.

Great Nova video on the building of the Alicia including problems encountered.  I learned a thing or two.  Yeah, they dramatize a bit to make it more interesting to the general public.
