At the Military Heritage Museum in McDonough GA. As explained to me, the USS Florikan was involved in deploying a deep dive vessel, the sailors duct taped a full size styrofoam cooler to it, with cups inside, the result was amazing. The pressure reduced it to half or less size. Notice the styrofoam cup, before and after.
