Octopus Rock

The Octopus Rock was an advanced deep-sea submarine owned by UNIT. It was named after a song by the Sex Pistols.

Features
The Octopus Rock was large for a deep-sea submarine, with easily enough room for 4 people. It had omnidirectional propulsion, advanced navigational equipment and a wet dock. It was electrically powered with a main and secondary battery and would automatically return to the surface when the air ran out. The hull was made of 7 inches of steel, allowing it to go up to 11 kilometres under the sea. It also carried diving suit made with dwarf star alloy, allowing them to travel at the bottom of the ocean. (BBCR: Submission)

History
The Octopus Garden was created for deep-sea investigation. In 2009, an unknown sound was heard from the Mariana Trench. Torchwood Three and Carlie Roberts were able to convince UNIT to allow them to investigate and so they went down in the Octopus Garden. Once there, they were attacked by Sam Doyle, who was infected with an alien parasite, giving it increased strength. The Octopus Garden was badly damaged and crashed. The team was forced to escape in Guernica, the submarine Sam Doyle had travelled in. (BBCR: Submission)
