<div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">The external deck mounted scuba tanks are for hookah rigs, as I understand it. The rest of it seems to have been built in aluminum angle to contain big MBTs and shield the other equipment. Still no manipulator. He could really use one of those, maybe a ball-and-socket variant welded in next to the front viewport? The wheels are a cool little addition. Obviously they have enough bearing strength, and they can launch and retrieve off channel ramps rather than trying to find a boat ramp and trailer tongue long enough to back the whole thing down. Neat solution.</font></div>

<div>There is a photo somewhere of that subs interior. One can clearly see
longitudinal slats mounted inside and over the ribs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to know what those are as they give the interior a smother
