[PSUBS-MAILIST] 2015 PSUBS Convention

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

This sounds great, Steve.

 

I would love to attend both Psubs and ISR, so this is a great tie-in.  Two years ago I suggested to my wife that we attend the races for our upcoming anniversary trip.  She said that she would rather go to the Caymans… very puzzling.

 

I am surprised that the visibility and lighting in the tank aren't better.

All, we have a potential  opportunity to hold our 2015 convention in the greater D.C. area in conjunction with the semi annual International Submarine Races.  Here is a link to a nice video to familiarize yourself with the 2015 event (including dates).

I see some of the potential activities on the convention wish list as:

- Tour some of the pressure testing facilities at Caderock 
  (Navy base the ISR is held at)

- Tour the tow basin where they test hull models and ISR is held

- See the U.S. Navy Modeler's workshop (scale ship models)

- View some of the ISR races

- PSUB technical hotel sessions

     - Caderock engineer/technicians. Failure analysis?

     - PSUB member project updates?

     - Q&A session for ISR contestants to learn about PSUBS?

- Support static or wet display at ISR event

- Optional Smithsonian/D.C. day trip

My main concern is the interest level for a convention of this make up? Please let me know if you think you'd attend.

Steve
