Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm surprised that no one has brought in these guys that magnet fish canals, just need a longer rope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Just now, Zen Archer (Raconteur) said: I'm surprised that no one has brought in these guys that magnet fish canals, just need a longer rope. The Titan is made of carbon-fibre and titanium, rather than steel, so it would evade your magnet fishermen even if they had a big enough rope. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the very first carbon-fibre hulled deep sea submersible, so this was a bit of an experimental voyage for all concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cable I was talking about is the one that tethers the ROV to the mothership and supplies power and communication to control it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
