 Yeah, the Henson-Seekers!  On the bounce!

More on topic, I have been thinking about some of your off-list comments

about subs v. SDBs. I think I realize why I was I disagreed with some of
your conclusions.  I'm thinking about the (relatively) low-tech
Traveller
SDBs (Shukugan-class, specifically) that could hide in the oceans & gas
giants, thus obscuring attempts to detect them. Although, they were pretty
much blind, themselves. But it sounds like what you mean are
purpose-built
SDBs, designed to operate in both liquid & vacuum environments. Very possible,
and scary. Makes me want to go kitbash one up from a Typhoon model.

Off topic, PC has become a weapon for both sides to beat the other with.

It's a term of derision from the right, and a method of stifling debate

and dissent on the left. Well, on both sides, actually. At school, it was sad.
We had some brilliant profs, who were always in 'trouble' because the loonies
didn't like any measure of objectivity in historical study. Nothing ever came
of it ('Horsefeathers', as the college President would say), but the time
wasted was spectacular.
