You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here's Tyler's line from the movie when he identifies it:
Tyler: This... This could be a caterpillar.
Ryan: A what?
Tyler: Uh, a caterpillar drive. Magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion. You follow?
Ryan: No.
Tyler: It's like a... a jet engine for the water. Goes in the front, gets squirted out the back. Only it's got no moving parts, so it's very, very quiet.
Ryan: Like how quiet?
Tyler It's doubtful our sonar would even pick it up. And if it did, it would sound like whales humping or a seismic anomaly. Anything but a submarine.
