The 305 crew is about to manufacture replica torpedoes to save weight instead of using artifacts. Any other museum or organization may order torpedo from us.

Nope, we are going to keep all 4 of our real ones mounted. But thanks for the offer anyway! Besides without the 600 pounds of explosive they only weigh 1400 pounds or less, since they have no fuel or air either inside them.
