Actually Bill, I for one, and I'm sure others, was fascinated by the
subject. I came away from it impressed how necessity is the mother of invention.
Not to mention the educational and historical perspectives.

No Brian. Jim has asked me a valid question and
I was HAPPY to answer it. I was after all vindicated
in my Hunley conceptual beliefs by a Hunley
archaeologist. So instead of checking the psubs archives,
check the link I sent Jim and read what the
Hunley archaeologist answered in response to my conceptual
questions regarding the Hunley. That will clear
things up REAL fast, whereas our archives only shows naysayers
arguing and disparaging me. It was very nice to
be correct on this one. But I am not always. I have made mistakes
posting here before. But yes, being vindicated on
this one was VERY satisfactory to me. It was also educational
for the psubs group in that it showed not to
disparage someone's concepts unless you can disprove them, and
also taught the group that the Hunley was in fact
a hybrid of ambient and 1atm operation as I always said she was.

Oh no, I'm getting that "sinking"
feeling again ;) Maybe just check the archives on that one

Thanks for the link, Bill. A very
stylish model indeed!
You know, I racall a discussion here about
the Hunley some months ago, but I lost track of it. Tell me, are you
still of the opinion that the Hunley was a hybrid ambient submarine?
How was that concept received by others in the group?
Cheers!
Jim
