Stingray
- Submarine set in the year 2064 on the science fiction puppet
adventure STINGRAY/SYN/1964-65.
The Stingray was a 60-foot long,
atomic-powered underwater patrol vessel of the World Aquanaut
Security Patrol (WASP). It was designed to protect the surface world
from attacks from the undersea kingdom of Titanica.
"Stand by for action!...We are about to launch... STINGRAY!"
Built of
corrosion resistant titanium, the Stingray traveled at 400 knots per
hour on the surface; 600 knots per hour submerged; and carried 16
sting missiles with the explosive power of 1,000 tons of TNT. It
required only a crew of two and could stay underwater for up to six
months. To
monitor their surroundings, Stingray's crew used the Surface
Video Scan (SVS).
