Alan,
All the more reason for two submarines.

 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
 your4 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 submarinesAlan

 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? Brian

 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.

 I went through Sub School In Feb. 67. My recollection on the
 instructors in the water was to ensure you exhaled all the
 way an to the surface and ride you the last 10' to slow
 you up.

 I qualified on USS Barb SSN-596.
