Merriman's Submarine Modelling Masterclass

That's one hell of a box of warshots you got! Leftovers from when you were messing with working torpedo tubes?

Nope. Product. When working for Caswell we sold complete systems: one torpedo launcher and three torpedoes. All that came to a screeching halt when Caswell sold his interest in that product like to Nautilus Drydocks.

Does Nautilus still sell them? or have most of the Sub Drivers given up on the system as too much extra maintenance for not enough fun?

No. Recently, Bob restructured the business end of Nautilus Drydocks. He's no longer selling product, just doing the occasional commissioned job. He's rejoined his old place-of-work, which is a full-time job. Bottom line: Bob continues to produce his videos and support of all those interested in learning about the hobby of r/c submarining but is pretty much out of the game as a point of sale.

I'm afraid, as far as skilled Crafts go -- now that the robots have a foothold in design, development and manufacture -- we're the last of the breed. It all dies with us. Mankind is painting itself into a corner. The outcome will be quick and brutal when the electrons stop flowing!

So, USS Hoist gets a free pass as a submarine rescue ship, all other skimmers are targets!

In the real world I was stationed aboard the USS RECOVERY (ARS-43) for two four-year tours as a Diver. The RECOVERY was of the same class as the HOIST. That's why I was so enamored with the HOIST model and gave it more screen-time than the others.
