=====Submarines===== In 1989, the first human-powered International Submarine Race (ISR) was held in Florida with 17 craft. Since then nine more races have been held. The races themselves have been moved from the waters of Florida to the [[David Taylor Model Basin]] at the [[Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center]] in Bethesda, Maryland, and are held biennially. At the 9th ISR in 2007 (in which 23 submarines participated) several new records were set: A single-person craft, [[Omer5]] achieved a record speed of {{cvt|8.035|kn|km/h|order=flip}} breaking the Omer team's previous record of {{cvt|7.19|kn|km/h|order=flip}} set by Omer 4 in 2004. Also Omer 6 snatched up a record for non-propeller driven craft with a speed of {{cvt|4.642|kn|km/h|order=flip}} .<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.isrsubrace.org/ |title=International Submarine Races |publisher=Isrsubrace.org |access-date=2012-04-14 |archive-date=2012-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120504145250/http://www.isrsubrace.org/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
