I vote for all independent seaQuest DSV articles to remain separate. The show article would become far too long if all of it was incorporated into one. Furthermore, there are countless similar articles about fictional characters and elements concerning other shows on Wikipedia, many of which are far less developed than the "seaQuest" articles are, and yet, no one bothers to touch them.
The purpose of this encyclopedia is to further enhance it by elaborating on whatever we can, not by restricting it with one person (TTN), choosing to redirect them all back to a single article with the independent ones becoming lost, thus, weakening Wikipedia as a whole.
There's enough actual junk floating around on Wikipedia that deserves real attention, rather than focusing on some (if I do say so myself) intricately written articles regarding "seaQuest DSV." Try cleaning up the Star Trek: Voyager episode guide or something. Half of those article pages have ten words on them, tops; the "seaQuest" ones at least have substance to them.
If this issue insists on being persisted, then, feel free to enhance the existing "seaQuest" articles by elaborating and expanding them as much as possible. Kyle C Haight ( talk) 10:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
seaQuest is the brain child of Captain Nathan Bridger who designed the boat in the early 21st century, however, Bridger left the navy 3 years before construction on the ship was completed. Upon its completion, seaQuest was the largest submarine and deep submergence vehicle ever constructed, measuring 307.1 m from stem to stern with a crew of 88 military and 124 science personnel. The ship could travel at speeds up to 160 knots (295 km/h) and was propelled by twin fusion reactors. The seaQuest was coated in a genetically engineered bio-skin which remained completely inert against (most) marine bacteria and organisms with a crush depth of more than 9 km of water. The ship is equipped with a complement of standard torpedoes, as well as nuclear tipped SLBMs (believed to be named the Triton II), intercepts, sea to air missiles, state-of-the art laser banks, as well as a specialized "grapnel torpedo" which, when fired, would impact a target and allow the seaQuest to tow or retract.
The ship was also equipped with a series of WSKRS (Wireless Sea Knowledge Retrieval Satellites); small sensor probes that were remotely controlled by the ship's sensor chief. The WSKRS codenamed "Mother", "Junior", and "Loner", served as the "eyes and ears of seaQuest" and could relay telemetry data back to the ship miles away. In a pinch, the WSKRS could also be used as an emergency power supply and could be reconfigured for communication purposes. A special "Hyper-Reality Probe" was also part of the seaQuest's arsenal which allowed the operator to manually control the probe and conduct delicate repair operations or investigate various anomalies. The ship's communications buoy could also be detached to enable contact with surface bound vessels.
The ship was also equipped with a series of sea launch shuttles, as well as a series of speeder shuttles, a series of sea crab-class vehicles and eventually, a specialized, high-speed, one-man submersible named The Stinger by one of the designers, Lucas Wolenczak. In 2032, the ship was equipped with two high-speed spector-class sub-fighters; high speed submersibles capable of engagements up to speeds approaching 300 knots (554 km/h), comparable to (but not equal to) the Lysander-class sub-fighter engineered by Deon International.
seaQuest featured an emergency override called the "Dead Man's Codes"; in the event that the ship's crew was incapacitated or the ship was hijacked and taken off course, the codes could be used to bring the ship to any location on the globe by remote. The UEO Secretary General kept one set of the codes while another set was flash-fed into the computer banks and scrambled at random intervals.
Originally designed as a purely military vessel, the seaQuest underwent a refit in 2017 following the Livingston Trench Incident and the signing of the United Earth Oceans Organization charter.
Why not create a "List of seaQuest DSV vehicles" page and merge the content on this page onto that one? That way we keep the information we have about seaQuest and can add things about the Marauder SSN, seaLuanch, Seaspeeder, etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.59.87 ( talk) 01:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
There is nothing in the Brody article that shows he, as a character, is notable enough to justify his own article. It's just a rehash of plot elements, which fails WP:PLOT and WP:WAF. Pairadox ( talk) 06:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
That way, we can get all of the main seaQuest characters some coverage on Wikipedia, without stepping on the toes of the notability hounds. Bridger, Lucas, and Westphalen could be added to the list as well, but, linked off to their own separate articles (which I maintain should remain separate, given how important they were to the show).

Isn't the point of Nav boxes to help save time when looking foe articles?

I've removed the following from the series summary because it is not the slightest bit accurate: "and plot lines began to follow the real-life missions and experiences of the US Coast Guard's Living Marine Resources & Marine Protected Species Enforcement Division (CG-5314). [1]"
