Fluid Energy Launches 64-Foot Passenger Submarine Fluid Energy Ltd. recently launched the first of a line of Scottish-built, 48-seat leisure subma- rines. Designed and built at the company's yard at Firth of Forth in Scotland, the 64-foot sub- marine will be delivered to Submarine Tours of St. Thomas, Inc., for operation in the Carib- bean. Built at a cost of $2.7 million, the Looking Glass LG50 submarine displaces 95 tons, and has a pressure hull diameter of 8V2 feet. Although rated for a maximum depth of 250 feet, the submarine will operate at depths of 90 to 150 feet, offering hour-long underwater tours. Her hull has 11 large portholes along each side, viewing bubbles at her bow and stern, a battery of floodlights and feeding jets to attract fish. In addition, she carries a miniature remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in her deck housing, which can be deployed to take video or still pic- tures for or of the passengers.
