19. Wait...an aircraft potentially picked up "banging" possibly from this lost sub

meaning humans striking the hull inside this sub thing registered with this aircraft, but CEO Johnny McSubmarine couldn't sort out outfitting this thing with some sort of tracking transponder before launch? A remote override that would bring it to the surface? I admit it, I'm not smart enough to figure out the logistics of this, but it seems the tech is there but they cheaped out.

But then, also reading what's been posted here, even if they could be brought to the surface, they're locked in some sort of death chamber until outside help can undo the seals...if they can find it, because colors.

I may not be smart enough to figure out the logistics of this, but I'm sure as fuck not stupid enough to ever climb into this contraption.

Of course it had a transponder thebigidea Jun 2023 #24

Okay, it had a transponder. Seems like it's kind of shit though, right? flvegan Jun 2023 #32

Of course it's viable when it friggin' works thebigidea Jun 2023 #37

Think about the context Effete Snob Jun 2023 #41

No, it does not have a tracking beacon obamanut2012 Jun 2023 #49

It does not have a tracking beacon, that poster is incorrect obamanut2012 Jun 2023 #47

ROVs are mostly used because of cost and convenience, not safety sir pball Jun 2023 #43
