Who circumnavigated submerged without a periscope/snorkle?
I'd like to know, so maybe a link or something — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.178.166.233 (talk) 11:21, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Slow driving costs more?
From the article, we have:
 * Admiral Burke's classified response dated 18 January 1960 acknowledged the technical feasibility of Project Magellan while further noting that the "Magellan route" could be transited in "56 days at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) and 75 days at 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph)," with the latter option costing an additional $3.34 million USD in nuclear fuel consumed.

Surely this cannot be correct? Travelling faster through the water consumes less fuel? --Pete (talk) 06:38, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * That's what the sourcing stated. I suspect that has to back-end cost of refueling Triton earlier than later.Marcd30319 (talk) 13:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
