They are replacing one defunct ROV with another one? Thought SEL stopped making Spartans years ago, or is this a more modern version made for the MoD?
The Asdic Sonar array ex WWII on the front of the Cutlet was great for picking up the beacons on the torpedoes to find them. Even if it was 50 years old, worked fine. I spent most of my time at BUTEC on Cockchafer (Torrent before that).
Alas they are also all gone now. They have a Quantam at BUTEC now, does about 5 hours work a month!
