[PSUBS-MAILIST] Great White mods

Sat Feb 8 15:20:58 EST 2014

It looks cool, which aside from shielding head knockers, is probably the point. I like it though. A steampunk version of George's baby. Lots of propulsion, which I'd like to get some information on, and very cleanly done. Still haven't solved the conning tower latching issue, I notice. Somebody really ought to do something about that. The other issue I have with all that broad shouldered top deck is how much it blocks the pilot's view near the sup. The little ports in the conning tower sides are useless in this configuration, so maybe they will eventually use them for penetrator plates or something. Otherwise, it's a neat variant, being campaigned hard by a guy who will charm your socks off if you stand still long enough. I've met him, and those eyes get just plain old shiny when he talks about this stuff. That's compelling, and I wish him the best.

OFF LIST
Yeah, Scott is a great guy, but he's a man on a mission.  I'm sure he will read the emails referencing Great White or Undersea Voyager project.

I suspect the interior materials used were either synthetic wood flooring or synthetic decking material.  Both are far superior to real wood for this application, but you would have to check for off-gassing properties both from general usage in a confined space or in the event of a fire.

Thanks Jim, 

Somehow   I get the feeling this fellow Scott is too busy for chit chat!

Joe,

If you got to http://www.underseavoyagerproject.org/ and scroll down   to the Mission Video you'll see some shots of the interior, but there is no   description of the materials used.

Here's another video before its latest makeover:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-XGT8rPZs8

Jim,

There is a photo somewhere of that subs interior. One can clearly see     longitudinal slats mounted inside and over the ribs.

I'd like to know what those are as they give the interior a smother     neater appearance and an apparent mounting surface.

Here's another article showing the external mods to Great       White.  It doesn't look much like a K-250 anymore.  There's a       photo gallery about 70% of the way down.  -Jim
