Caption Contest

It's been a while since we have had a caption contest over here at "Ultra Quiet No More" so I present the Acrylic elevator photo as a topic for a creative bubbleheaded commenter to achieve temporary fame.

I thought the photo was interesting and looked a bit odd in an early 1960's kind of way.

The acrylic sphere accommodated an operator and one passenger for the descent through the 60-foot water column to the ocean Floor. Dr. William McLean is pictured at right.

Contest Rules?
None, just keep it clean and provide your creative best caption recommendation in the comments section, something submarine related would be good but not necessary.

Losers will have their bubble burst at the end of the contest on Friday. - LL

Don't worry sir - if anything happens, my sideburns double as floatation devices...

Now this is high as we go in daylight, Admiral Turner. At night we buzz AF bases just as you have directed.

The fateful journey begins for the first, and last, USO tour for deployed submariners.
