Phorcys Class Deep Sea Vehicle
The Phorcys Class (pronounced Four-Kee-s) was designed when an engineer looked at a deep sea laboratory and asked, "What if it could move?" A few years and millions spent on R&D later, the finished product was a fully mobile, deep sea submersible that could anchor itself in place and remain on station indefinitely (or atleast until the crew starved)

Notes about the depth control
Turn the appropriate key at the helm to start the depth thrusters.
While you can change depth at top speed, the system works best if you slow down to around 0.3 throttle while changing.
Once you have deployed the 'Station keeping anchors' and they have locked, you can safely turn off the thrusters and the craft will remain in position.
To start
Once spawned in, the reactor is already on. Just wait until the turbines spool up before heading out
(I recommend using this time to explore and familiarise yourself with the layout)
To sink
Simply dive below the crush depth.
Crush depth can be changed using the lever located in the boiler room (located on the bottom floor at the stern)
