That must have been terrifying the first time they had to transform that. And maybe every time after that

Who said marine biology wasn’t fun.

It’s giving controlled titanic disaster but with less death and destruction.
No, actually. Please tell me this technology is some kind of “accidental discovery” relating to the titanic, cause this diagram is very reminiscent of the play-by-play diagrams explaining how it happened.

When I was a kid there was a cartoon that featured one of these in an episode. I think it was from a transformers cartoon? I have spent ages trying to find it and have never been able to

What could possibly be gained from this that you couldn’t do much easier faster with a little submersible?
AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Based on reading the wikipedia page movement in a submersible was exactly that problem they (successfully) solved with this testing platform.

Maybe stability for certain current/weather conditions?

I had no idea the ship level from SOMA was based on a real vessel.

Those picts arc great I m sad it was decomissioned ;-;
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
I mean 60y of service ain’t too shabby for an ocean vessel that submersrs like 80% of itself.
It is sad that the ONR and Scripps didn’t have the 8-10mill to keep it functional.

Ngl I’ve always hated spaceships with those swivel designs.
To me they would be incredibly difficult to pilot since you have to maintain awareness of its position at all times which is already hard enough in a 3d dogfight.
And all that extra difficulty for what? I don’t see any real advantages to the design.
This concludes my rant about something that doesn’t actually exist. Thanks for coming to me TED talk.
