[ExI] robo-rescue

[Keith Henson]

Spike, I have been following the reports from Ukraine. They take down
Russian copters with the least expensive, FPV drones.

A battleship is defined by huge guns and enough armor to stand up to a
projectile from another battleship of the same gun size. This is not the
current situation. Your submersible idea is not impossible, but there is no
way it would be called a battleship. BTW, nobody uses diesel for main
propulsion; it is all turbines.

Best wishes,

Keith
