Pegasus - Small manned submarine on the maritime adventure PRIMUS/SYN/1971. The Pegasus was owned by Carter Primus (Robert Brown), a global underwater troubleshooter based in Nassau. Among his arsenal of oceanic equipment was the Pegasus, a small submarine used for exploration and photographic survey of the ocean floor; another portable sub called Shark Hunter,. Big Kate, a saucer shaped underwater robot that can dig samples from the ocean bottom or carry artifacts to the surface; the Tegtight, his base of operations; Dagat, his mother ship; and the Orka, his sea sled/patrol boat.
