It offers a discrete method for inserting and extracting special forces in harsh maritime environments. It can transport 6-8 combat swimmers and their gear from a submerged submarine to within swimming distance of the insertion beach. The type is only now being replaced by a new system, the SDV Mk.11 (aka Mk.XI).

I hesitate to use that term because I think overuse of it can lead to rigid thinking, but if there is even one core principal of Bitcoin, decentralization is it. But Bitcoin isn't the only major instance of decentralization shaking up the course of history, neither is the internet; at least, if you are able to keep an open mind about what exactly decentralization means. The Internet and in particular Bitcoin are the two best examples of something resembling true decentralization in history, where pretty much every participant got equal access at a relatively reasonable pace; even then, there are some centralization issues.
The other examples that are listed here were hampered in reaching the masses either through intentional suppression by those who controlled it, or technological limitations or both. Again, none of these instances, Bitcoin and the Internet included, are perfect examples of decentralization. Artificial Intelligence @ MIRI. Latest Technology News. Ubergizmo.
