[PSUBS-MAILIST] exotic steel

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

I'm showing 1 inch thick for Aluminum 7079-T6 to reach 3000 feet at a 
usage factor of .8
I believe that equates to around 1,850 pounds with about 1,800 pounds of 
payload.  If you use ABS recommended .67 usage factor you have to bump 
up to 1-1/8 inch thickness.
