Subject: RE: BS: Karsk fiasco
Sorry Fionn, but I meant at least to the same place the British unit has now arrived. The Navy has these on standby with transport aircraft and can be flown anywhere in the world within that time.

I did see that the weather is improving with a high moving in and the winds and seas are both calmer. Also, the Kursk is lying at a down angle and listed at 60 degrees. The bell method is dificult at best, but at those angles and with the prevailing weather conditions, it'd be damn near impossible.

Hope the DSRV arrives at the wreck with good weather as it too needs at least a somewhat stable platform to dive from.
