    The doctor was right about the intended goal of these semi-submarines reaching Europe. In 2019 they captured one off the coast of Spain. Crossing the Atlantic in such a thing sure is a feat.

    Such craft, precision built, reliable and reusable, could make lengthy journeys hauling cargo's directly to their most profitable locations.
    One cannot but admire the ingenuity of people, the Neptunes being the case in point.
