These will turn up heaps of amazing university team subs. Saw computer that automatically balanced sub tilt via ballast tanks.

Is there any way to make good naca teardrop shape - well, concrete, I guess. Any way that is strong?

Well, helped Ryan lay down his first welds - proof of concept ballast tank, external, chopped oil drum. 
Liking modular construction of Mk. 48 torpedo - amazing manual at tpub.com. That way, can swap separate engine/passenger compartment. Mix 'n match. Works well with maybe ? light based non-physical connection between the two. Jettison clamp on rear - end up with floating upright life buoy. Handy.
