The problem with submersibles of this type is not submerging, it’s re-surfacing.

"ABC's radio affiliate WABC reported that the vessel was equipped with oxygen tanks." Bump for exploding oxygen tanks.

Its owner was Philip Riley, of Brooklyn, the Coast Guard said.
Sound Muslim to you?

I saved my money and ordered one... I checked the mail everyday for WEEKS until it arrived.
You put it together and it was a cardboard box with printing on the outside to vaguely suggest it was a submarine.
The “rockets” were little plastic Mercury-type capsules about 3 inches in diameter, and you “launched” them by putting them on the end of a plastic tube that had a bulb on the other end that you would compress by hitting it with your hand - the air pressure would make them pop off. The launch tube stuck out through the cardboard.
The “torpedoes” were little 6” plastic things you shot through a cardboard tube with a rubber band.
Kind of disappointing, but I played with it for weeks.

Heck, the Hunley was safer than this thing, and that's not saying much. I think you over state the case....
I believe the Hunley killed it's own crew three times. Neither the Turtle nor any of the replicas I have heard of ever killed anyone.

No it doesn't. My remark was a comment on the flimsy reasons CAIR uses to threaten action so as to intimidate American citizens.
Reread that and let me know if you understand it now.

Wow. Lots of memories...I wanted that baby, too.

My brother and I spun quite a tall tale about our sub ...
Yeah, we'd take it down to the lake, and cruise around underwater looking at all the skinny-dippers through the periscope. And I remember the time we did a torpedo run on the Lady of the Lake....
Ah, those were the days.

I did see mention in a story that it was a copy of the “Turtle”. But I do not believe the original had oxygen tanks.

“I highly doubt that.”
We will know when more facts make the news, but I can see where they would be a good idea. If it was indeed a copy of the Turtle. One of the downsides of it, and the much later confederate sub Hunley was the fact they could not stay down very long at all. At least no without a snorkel. I do wanna see more on this interesting story.
