I have to imagine something like a submarine probably requires quite a bit of maintenance to stay reasonably safe anyways, and given their reputation of cost-cutting even to the point of gambling with the life of their own CEO and losing, I somehow don’t expect them to be the best at keeping on top of that.
Titan was the only sub they actually designed and built by themselves.
Antipodes was purchased. Cyclops was purchased and refitted - meaning someone else actually designed and built the pressure hull. They did retrofit it so it could be steered with a wireless gaming controller, though!
More seriously, I think they have a couple of other submersibles rated for much shallower depths, one they built and one they bought, IIRC.
I wouldn’t even trust the one they bought, given their attitude to safety.
“This sub is only rated for 1km? That’s only a suggestion.”

Still just the one Logitech controller, though, so no dice.

Thanks for the better info!
