[PSUBS-MAILIST] dual purpose submarine

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

Did some destructive testing last week crushing oil pipeline samples in
our pressure chamber:

It is always filled with water for testing, but even still, the operator
station is behind a three foot thick reinforced concrete strong wall. 
When some of the larger pipes collapse, it shakes the building.
