Lemures S-10
Designed by AltusMare Watercraft Inc., the builders of the Hermes and S-900 submarines, the Lemures class is designed to carry a four man special forces team to and from a military submarine. One crewman from the parent submarine usually pilots the boat, while the four-man team are in cramped seats. The boat is reasonably stealthy and fast, though endurance is rather limited; in general, the Lemures should not be launched further than 15-20 miles from the team's target. Lemures are also sometimes used as liason craft between two submarines or a submarine and surface ship. The commercial version is detailed below.

Design Notes
Frame is very cheap, very heavy for 300 cf body. Surface features include
sealed, submarine hull, basic stealth, radical sound baffling and radical
IR cloaking. The boat has advanced submarine hydrodynamic lines.
The Dolphin is a very similar boat intended for commercial use. Stripped of military hardware, it is much cheaper. The hydrojet is also smaller. It serves a useful role as shuttle for underwater labs and mining facilities. The Dolphin has generally sold better than the military version.

Design Notes
Frame is very cheap, very heavy for 300 cf body. Surface features include
sealed, submarine hull, and total compartmentalization. The boat has normal
submarine hydrodynamic lines.
Note: Crush depth uses suggested errata in GURPS Atlantis.
