Submarines have come a long way since 245 years ago today.

Lee had almost secured the bomb when his boring tools failed to penetrate a layer of iron sheathing.

“Lee had almost secured the bomb when his boring tools failed to penetrate a layer of iron sheathing.”
So it can be said that his mission wasn’t boring.

A mighty vessel, I dig the side arm at the ready

all missions are boring, punctuated with moments of terror.

Wow. From the diagram, it’s basically “a man in a can”. the operator appears to be sealed in based on what look like locking nuts on the “lid”.

The show Turn has a great episode where this device was used. Neat to see what it would have looked like in practice...

Yep. No quick release hatch for the pilgrim.

I was thinking of dating this girl I met. She’s an marine biologist who works on a submarine.
But between you and me, I think she’s a little out of my league.

With occasional release of the rudder to pump in air to breathe, it looks like.
It looks amazing that anyone survived operating it.

I think you missed the pun...

Right to keep and bear submarines then, given Progressives’ argument that only weapons of the time are covered.

'Turtle' Submarine at Connecticut River Museum **The Connecticut River Museum has both a cut away display that you can sit in and feel what it was actually like to be inside the Turtle and a full scale replica that was hand made for the 1976 bicentennial. They tested the machine in a nearby harbor, and it is said to have worked beautifully.**

I bought one of those submarines they advertised in the back of comic books.
I took it out to the ocean and launched it.
I took it down 300 feet, but the pressure got to be too much on the cardboard.
Luckily, the nuclear reactor held up and I got back to port.
