#3 I have to admit the same sort of thoughts crossed my mind, too, Mrs D. Sheesh. Woods Hole. And wouldn't you know it - we're paying most of the tab:

"The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is supported by a mix of grants from federal agencies including the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research, private contributions, and endowment income."

This thing must not be all that the article implies - i.e. less capable than what we've fielded on our subs, given who's minding the store (Office of Naval Research).

Well, I can hope, can't I?
