[PSUBS-MAILIST] Snub Bow

["Joseph Perkel" <joeperkel@hotmail.com>]

.....Snubbed the bow by nearly two feet based on suggestions regarding 
increased line of sight visibility. This close to the view port, I have to 
negate the claw since it would actually block some view. So for that reason, 
the jury is still out regarding a short bow, I really want that claw!

Some input in this regard, as to how to get the best of both perhaps.

Since the saddles are 5 cf each, in addition to fore and aft MBTs, I added 
two more 120's externally. This I think gives her more dive cycle ability, 
safety back up, and a bit of a real "research submersible" air about it.

Starting to consider maybe the soft tanks should all be FRP, and the rest of 
the exostructure, sheet metal. Don't quite know yet.
