[PSUBS-MAILIST] submarine escape procedures

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

A point of interest I found in the G.L. regulations is that they don't require a flood valve.
So no way of escaping at depth. You would just have to rely on help coming before your
4 days of life support ran out. If you followed the rules & had communication to a support boat
& an emergency beacon I guess this would be feasable, but I will be putting in a flood valve.
The other thought is that they won't be getting any insurance claims for flooded submarines

If one were ascending from an extreme depth would it make sense to have a bottle of mixed gas ( low nitrogen or no nitrogen) for the way up?

I was there in Aug-Oct 1966. The safety divers were there for that, and you were asking for a punch in the gut if you weren't exhaling all the way up!

I understand that they finally built a 35 ft deep replacement pool! That training tank was the main landmark on the base, they had one at Pearl Harbor too but I never saw that one. I qualified on the USS Torsk SS-423 and spent my whole time in Norfolk or Charleston.
