We were so close to completing the course a couple times but came short. “I have a passion for this and I’m happy to be competing here. “In the future, I plan to go to a marine engineering school,” he said. We made at least one run and it felt like a miracle – it was really exciting.”įor Quinn, reaching the races was a step in the right direction in learning what is required to be a naval engineer. “I was motivated to build this after reading ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.’ I built my model before knowing about the races – I initially was going to put an electric trolling motor on it and use it as a sports sub to run around Key West in Florida.
“The inspiration for this model came from the SR-71 black bird and things I have seen in movies,” Barone said. The 14-year-old Maryland native and his family traversed through the course in The Javelin, a sub shaped like a spaceship. All sorts of underwater submarine designs are showcased at the races. The biennial science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) event allows students to display their talents and problem-solving capabilities in submarine and hull design challenges. Teams from across the United States, Poland, the United Kingdom and Canada arrived at Carderock with their eyes set on one mission: be the fastest human-powered submarine in the competition. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division welcomed the return of the International Submarine Race (ISR) to its David Taylor Model Basin in West Bethesda, Maryland, June 26-30, for the first time since before the COVID-19 Pandemic.
