[PSUBS-MAILIST] concept sketch

["Sean T. Stevenson" <cast55@telus.net>]

I just uploaded a sketch of my submarine concept to my website, if 
anyone cares to take a look.  The basic idea behind this one is that it 
is a large sub (not really psub material, unless you have really deep 
pockets) - large enough to operate without a large surface support ship 
for launch and recovery - hopefully reducing operating cost, but still 
small enough that it can be moored anywhere that can accomodate large 
yachts or commercial fishing vessels.  A novel feature are the dual 
forward viewing bubbles which are oriented in sight of each other - 
allowing divers in the chamber to communicate visually with crew in the 
other compartment.  This design takes a good chunk out of the bow 
profile, wreaking havoc with streamlining; however, by changing the 
formerly elliptical bow lines to a circular profile, as the drawing 
shows, it becomes possible to have a shield that rotates into position 
from either side to protect the windows and correct the hull profile for 
high speed cruising.  Thoughts?
