The building of the Hibernia was an extraordinary undertaking. Man has accomplished incredible feats since the advent of the Industrial Revolution and the Technological Revolution.

My brother just retired from EB Quonset on Friday. He was there 46 years 2 months and 2 days. His retirement party was yesterday. I’ve been to many launches including the Seawolves. We were just talking about the Seawolf and how much harder it was to build than the Trident. EB changed the way they designed their blue prints when they created the Seawolf. It was incredibly hard to build but groundbreaking in every way. Columbia Class are the new all in one subs on the block. They are going to be way beyond anything ever made to date.

I worked at EB for six months between when I got out of the military and starting a 2 year technical college. I did electronics wiring which was pretty boring. I did the main communications panel on the submarine Groton, it took two months and I was told I did it in half the study time. I also hooked up and tested sound powered phones. A Navy guy had to sign off on my work. This was in 1976.

I reckon the submarine technology featured in this video that you referred to as "old school" was what they were using when this video was made. Nonetheless, I thought what they did was incredible.

First oil isn't a fossil fuel it created by heat and pressure where carbon is available not where dead plants and animals lay.

While an amazing creation, it seems also a colossal waste of human endeavour all just to drag up oil from the depths, and that... just to BURN IT UP! We burn it just to make heat (for power to transport, by land, sea or air) and supply direct heating and electricity. By electrifying conversion and using ever advancing mechanical or electric batteries, huge megawatt wind turbines and solar farms can finally store all surplus energy and transport is more and more electric, indeed the Solar Aptera runs up to 1000 miles on a charge AND add up to 40 miles per day,... by the sun only!
