This is a hull for a torpedo shaped ROV with an ID of only 6 to 10 inches; more like a battery compartment. I want to use aluminum with short sections of acrylic cylinder for the camera and light ports and a thin plastic skin over the external stiffeners that is flush with the acrylic sections. Putting the stiffeners external to the hull will also reduce the displacement. No real plans to build it, just thinking about it. --Doug J

Why do you want to place the stiffeners on the outside?
