Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Anchor System

["Eliezer Rodriguez" <eliezer_rodriguez@hotmail.com>]

The new drawing shows the anchor on both the deployed and retracted 
positions. On the retracted position, it will prevent drag by being inside a 
small void. I inderstand that drag can be a really huge problem with subs 
that lack on engine power specially when engaging electric motors as 
propulsion. I did flush a little bit the void that appeared on the last gif 
to show a better refined graphic.
