David White – If a submarine gets in trouble anywhere in the world, they’ll send a DSVR

If a submarine gets into difficulty anywhere in the world, they can fly this thing to it, then take it out on a mother sub, whether it’s one of theirs or someone else’s and then go down and like I say, they can get 24 people off at a time, at a depth way beyond which any submarine will crush.

So, if a submarine is still intact anywhere, a DSVR can get to it and she can mate up to about 45, 50 degrees that way. 

And the same that way, so even if the submarine has landed on the side of a mountain like that, she comes along and just goes dong, doosh and mates and does it.
