References for the Nautilus Submarine

This sub is no longer in our possession, but it doesn't matter because there was basically no documentation about this thing anyways. Here are a few pictures of a model, but alas, it lacks any useful specs. The model was a 1/35 scale version of Disney's Nautilus submarine, which put it at 66" inches in length. Not very useful for the purposes of robotic research given its poor hydrodynamics--when it approaches its top speed, it tends to corkscrew down, which is not quite useful. Additionally, the cosmetic spikes along the bow made it a hazard for the test pool.
