All,

This thread is an interesting exercise in math.  A number of us seem to be
arriving at fairly similar figures.  From a practical standpoint, with a sub
and tanks this small, the differences are going to be so minor they can be
compensated for with a little bit of hard ballast.

But what gets my attention here is the fact that Graham is already
fabricating a submarine he hasn't figured the design math on yet; one that
appears to have a lot of flat sides to the pressure hull, and will be used
at 1000 feet depth.

Anyone care to express any thoughts on that?
