Several issues[edit]

First of all, I'm surprised nothing has been said about Jason's history, specifically its original pairing with Hugo, which was as originally envisioned, and later, after Hugo and Jason becoming lost and then recovered, its pairing with Medea.

Additionally, the specifications box is highly non-standard. If all the technical specs need to be presented, this box needs to go... SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did what I could to convert the HTML table to an infobox. It looks to have been ripped from a brochure type website, so I removed any fields that came off as feature advertisement. More work can be done to make it better fit the commercial ship infobox style, but I'll most likely leave that to others.

Citation for Jason technical specifications[edit]

For future reference, here is a citation that we can and should use about the Jason ROV:

Hopefully we can use this wonderfully detailed document for some citing. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
