No success in finding anything there. :(

OK. I think what confused me is that the Hydra info was mentioned right in
with the Mark Twain stuff. We all know the Mark Twain is a real prototype
and know what it's specs are (for the most part), so when I saw the Hydra
data I assumed that it also was a real prototype. Since I didn't know
much about it, I decided to look for more information - and then the facts
I found on it didn't match what you published. Thus my inquiry for the
data you had. :)
Turley wrote me that the data he forwarded to you was rumors he heard/read
years ago and he had informed you that they were such. I think if you had
just inserted the word "rumored" right next to "Hydra", I wouldn't have
been confused. :)
