Jon,
If I remember correctly, that submersible was built before there
was a spec.

sorry again...another typo...
Please change "...educated people associated with the
design." to "...educated people associated with the sub."

I agree, it's not worth bringing up for discussion whether drilling
and bolting is the right way to install viewports. All the experts say
otherwise and ASME doesn't allow for it. However, I'm still interested in
hearing their reasons for choosing that design since it is not ABS
approved and frankly, fabricating an ABS approved design would not appear
to represent a financial burden to them. I can't understand their
choice. It can't be ignorance or stupidity since their are some educated
people associated with the design. What seems left is just a conscious
decision to ignore the standard. For what reason?

Holes
drilled in acrylic viewports is not a good idea. Mrs. Stachiw said so ,
Greg Cottrell says so and ABS says so. We have beat this one to death already.
