    charmc delivers!
    40 knots on the surface 45 days at sea and 600 foot dives!
    mind you, Mr. Marion isn't exactly the expert, but unless those are ridiculous over-estimates he's got a winner. It's pretty damn near what I'm after too.
    thanks! =D

    Best give up on that story Sus, looks rather like it will be history by the time you finish writing the book! And you are a science fiction writer not a historian aren't you?

    captain kirk encounters time zones all the time, and can think of better sci-fi story's
    did make animated 3d animations that went on CD's into study books in the past and saw a
    e-tablet on tv that holds dozens of books on a black and white flatscreen that sells for 800.- hmm...

    Cap'n Kirk - boy the original series is dated now - try updating TNG or the prequel Enterprise! or even Deep Space Nine if you've a mind to! (voyager was not my cup of tea tho') My son ain't called John Luke (JeanLuc) for nothing!!
