"New airlock mini-sub for US Navy SEAL 'operations'"

"........However, this week brings an announcement by the US Special Operations Command that they intend next month to lease an S301 submersible from Virginia company Submergence Group, which also offers a two-man research sub. The S301 is to be delivered to the SEAL units at Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, formerly the home of the ill-fated ASDS, and will "be used by field units for doctrinal, operational, and organizational purposes" - with "operational" being the most interesting word.........."
Interesting this is from a UK news source. A lot of stuff from the UK is linked here. Maybe all the investigative reporters in the US are trying to find out what Palin has written on her hand?
But, in and of itself, I find the story interesting in that by WW II most military powers had developed small subs with very small crews for hitting harbor targets. I would think a small low profile (no tower) stealth deck diesel/electric boat could be developed without that much money.
