Dolphin sub sunk

Not literally, but budget cuts are taking it out of action.

Why do you care? Because it achieved a few firsts using lasers!

Less than a year after completing a $50 million project to repair and upgrade the San Diego-based research vessel, the Navy will decommission it Sept. 22. It is the country's last diesel-electric sub... The Dolphin had other notable firsts: sending the first successful submarine-to-aircraft laser communication and the first sub-to-surface e-mail.
