I was watching an old World War 2 movie and saw Navy Seals welding underwater to make emergency repairs to a ship. I was just curious as to how this was possible without shorting out or frying the operator, espeically in salt water. I would think that as soon as power was applied to the rod holder, it would short through the water to the work. I have no intention of trying this, it's just something that I've been curious about for a long time. When I first saw a submerged arc power source in a catalog, I thought that it was for underwater welding until I read more and found out that submerged arc
acutally is welding in a bed of flux.
