OSS project... Office of Strategic Services? Are we reforming the
precusor of the C.I.A. to build subs?
Is Wild Bill Donovan going to design the sub? Smile. Just kidding.
Sorry guys. I vaguely remember this project as a proposed psubs group
effort at designing a sub that never happened.
What I don't remember is what the initials OSS stood for in that regard.
Would we REALLY want the initials of the parent organization that
later became the C.I.A. to be the name of this project?
Those initials make it sound a bit Machiavellian.
An OSS submarine? Off to sink the Bismark lads? Grin.
How about instead, something like, Project deep decent, Operation
Underlord, Psubbers do it deeper,
Operation squeeze ball, Project pressure cooker, Project Davy Jones
Basement, or even.....
Psubbers under sea squeeze yearn. That one would have interesting
initials. Figure it out. Smile.
Anything but OSS.

GUYS:
while I don't know the price of a k-350 design, I know that
the limits of that design is prohibitive to deep diving
exploration. I suggest at this time to reopen the oss project. I
recommend that the members that are interested in an oss project
determine a basic hull design that the contributing members own.
this design could then be sold to recover the cost of the initial
engineering. if anyone in the group feels this way and would like
to join the design committee for a 1000 ft design, please respond
