Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Have you ever
heard of a Murisub?
Hello All,
I am a new member and am looking for info on a WW2 era 1-man sub called
the Murisub. Tried a couple search engines and found nothing. I
came across the boat in a book by Willy Brou published in 1955. The
cover illustration is a rendering of a photo found in the illustrations within
the book.
The caption states that the operator sits in a water-tight compartment
with a plexiglass hood wearing diving eqpt. Which, indeed, the operator
is wearing mask and breathing eqpt. Painted on the side of the vehicle
(I am almost certain) are the words Aerojet General Corp. Tried a search
of Aerojet General but they had no historical archive section.
It appears to be an interesting design and I am interested in trying the
low tech approach to a psub that would be found in the earlier days of the
art.
Any input would be appreciated.
