A tale of two Troys

The name Troy shall forever (and/or a day) be associated with suits of armor designed to let a human being commune with a large, fierce animal.

TROY AND GRIZZLY  BEARS are the joint themes of the suit designed, built, and personally tested by Troy Hurtubise (for which he won the 1998 Ig Nobel Prize for Safety Engineering).

TROY AND SHARKS are the joint themes of the shark-shaped armored submarine designed, buit, and personally tested by Fabien Cousteau. (In this case the submarine, not the inventor, is named "Troy.")
