Those picts are great I m sad it was decomissioned ;-;
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.
Just sad that the picts were exterminated/assimilated by the 12th century throughout the british isles.
Sucks they scrapped instead of making a museum out of it
Holy shit. There's a video on the wiki of it flipping, that's really insane
So freaking cool, I hadn’t ever heard of it thank you.
Clearly an agent of the secret cabal of Good-Time-Ruiners.

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 my TED talk.
Me too. It’s adding extra complexity and points of failure.
Looks cool though.
