One thing I'm struck by is that out of
Proteus's 45 tons, 20 TONS are batteries. I guess relative to a
one-atmosphere boat, the hull must be very light and Herve needed something
heavy to make her dive, so why not carry the lead in the form of useful
batteries rather than simple ballast? To put it in perspective, Proteus is
about 45% batteries, while a K250 is about 6% batteries. Proteus must have
quite impressive endurance!
cheers,
Alec
