Anyone who thought that Thunderbird 4 was the best ever underwater craft might have to have a rethink after seeing the Sawfish.  Designed for underwater logging, the 7000lb remotely-operated craft was developed by Triton Logging and can harvest up to fifty trees in each dive, sending them floating to the surface via reusable inflatable airbags.
