    I can imagine it will be very useful for Astute submarine helmsmen...

      The reactions of the International Maritime Organisation, the International Hydrographic Organisation and the UK Hydrographic Office should be interesting. Especially after the first passenger ship that uses it sinks.

          Is it like a virtual fish tank because that would be ace !

          Or perhaps like that game in the arcades, when I was a lad, and you have a proper periscope and had to fire torpedoes at boats ? It even went "ping" !

          I think the next big Google app, based on their history so far, will be Google Clit.

          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            NF, did you want an idea for a multi-user mashup?

            Or even, if you don't fancy knocking up a wargame, Second Life Underwater?
