RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Submarine Questions? (was "Hey, looky, rocket fuel as ballast!")
Gail-
No, of course you didn't, and I didn't mean to come
across wrong either - just thought you must be looking
for something very specific;
Because the site covers all the "basics" (if there is
such a thing), advanced stuff and some "abstract"
stuff, and by reading through the archives and finding
the reference material (i.e. Busby, ABS cert., etc.,
and going through the related links, and suggestions
and leads people have submitted for other peoples
questions-problems etc. etc. etc. etc. -
*** Which I am sure you are doing / have done***
I just think there is so much there, that it just
about "covers it", so I thought you must be looking
for something specific - i.e. more than why does a sub
sink/float.
And if you were looking for something very specific, I
was just thinking that this group is probably the best
"equipped" to help you out. i.e there are many sources
(people) with practical knowledge of subs(myself
excluded) right here.
Good luck & regards-
