The NEPTUNE submarine used in the movie For Your Eyes Only. This Neptune submarine is one of two originally built by the film’s production company.
This is the 22-foot long red and white mini-submarine used in the underwater battle between Bond and Kristato's henchman. Several Neptunes existed in one form or another, but this one was the one outfitted with engines and navigational equipment. Peter Lamont, Production Designer for For Your Eyes Only, designed and built this submarine in London.
Perry Oceanographics of Florida outfitted the submarine with the engines. The underwater sequences using the Neptune were filmed near Nassau, Bahamas.
The Neptune was donated to the Ian Flemming Foundation by the Maritime Center on Long Island and the Intrepid Museum Foundation. Restoration of the Neptune was done through direct donations to the Foundation.
