	But, but, the Seaview's Flying Sub can do it! <grin>
	*sigh* Another nifty concept run aground on hard reality.

	Remember that British TV show UFO?  They had a most
	amusing interceptor: SkyDiver.
	It was a high tech rocket plane interceptor (Sky)
	mounted on the nose of a submarine (Diver).
	(It was even painted on the vehicles, with the
	separation point running inbetween the two words)

	The sub would sneak around under the ocean surface,
	safely out of sight of unsuspecting civilians,
	ready stick it's nose out of the water to 
	launch Sky if hostile UFOs were spotted.

	Totally ludicrous, but vastly entertaining.
	I'm not even going to mention
	the movie CITY BENEATH THE SEA...
