RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] manned torpedo



Rick,

Care should be exhibited when working with a fast, ambient submersible as rapid depth excursions can occur resulting in extreme barotrauma.  In addition, a fast negative excursion can lead to increased negative buoyancy (if neutral buoyancy is not maintained by hard tanks) further speeding the depth excursion with the possibility of not being able to pull out of it before injury.

Respectfully,

Jay K. Jeffries
