Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Pressure Hull

[Ian Roxborough <irox@ix.netcom.com>]

Once you know what all the other systems are going to
weight and the volume they will displace, you can use
up the remaining weight allowance on the pressure hull.

You would still want to know the specs, such an estimate
of the displacement, basic layout/dimensions, etc..  But
the actually metal design part, thickness of the steel,
spacing of the ribs, design of the ribs/frames, the
end cap style and the placement of the thru-hulls don't
have to be designed until later on.(?)

If I remember correctly, Alex Smyth designed this submarine
this way.
