[PSUBS-MAILIST] Intact Surface Stability
ABS Rule 3.19.1a states that "All submersibles are to have at least one
hatch. The unit is to have sufficient intact stability on the surface so
that in the worst loading conditions when subjected to a roll expected under
sea state 3 the unit will not take on water through any hatch."
Can someone that classed a boat with ABS and met this requirement explain
what calculations you can make to meet the roll constraint above?
