Submarine Tank

Phil Pauley's decidedly imaginative and optimistic proposal for an oceanographic research vehicle is a submersible tank. A three-person crew would pilot a lithium battery-powered boat for two to four weeks at depths of up to 4,000 meters below the surface of the ocean.

That's imaginative but I don't see much advantage to wheels on a watercraft. Why not just use propellers?

Prior Art - Three Stooges in Orbit, that one also included helicopter blades though.

@ mitch I think the idea is that it drives into the ocean from the coast instead of submerging like a real sub.
