here is an interesting submersible patrol boat made in the US: Its a tiny wet mini-sub thats only 9.9 meters long built in the US from commerical off the shelf parts. this must be inexpensive: Is the Multi-Role Combatant Craft (MRCC) is a unique surface planning wet submersible that provides SOF Operators 4 distinct operational modes: surface, semi-submerged, submerged, and bottom cache. Powered on the surface and semi-submerged by a turbo-diesel waterjet propulsion package in a pressure proof “Engine–Room-in-a-Can” container, resulting in long range and reduced acoustic and thermal observability. Submerged power is delivered from battery powered high efficiency electric thrusters. An Integrated Bridge System (IBS) provides Forward-looking SONAR, Flat Screen Displays, Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and Navigation. The Multi-Role Combatant Craft (MRCC) was developed in support of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) requirements and is currently the only surface planning wet submersible of its type in full rate production. http://www.armedforces-int.com/suppliers/s...ystems-inc.html |
