Commander Jebus posted:While I don't know this for sure as I haven't seen any detailed specs for groversub, pretty much every other commercial submersible built has an emergency deballast system of some kind. Its normally a manual mechanical linkage that will drop the heavy main battery or other ballast weight out of the bottom, making the submarine positively buoyant causing it to rapidly rise to the surface. The advantage of these systems is that they will work without power, propulsion or electrics of any kind. Once the sub gets to the surface it should have a S/EPIRB (Radio beacon) that would point rescuers right to it, and hopefully it would have hard points to crane in on to the deck of a ship. Thankyou for this information, but, after reading one two many Agatha Christie novels, I now read "positively buoyant" as meaning "very happy" in the old english lady sense of the word.

Look at those socks looming in the foreground. It'd take about twenty minutes for the entire sub to smell like those socks.

Listen, I'm sure a billionaire who worked in a country famous for using near-slave labour and a millionaire from a country famous for supplying near-slave labour had all sorts of legit reasons to hang out together
