Gail,
I certainly don't want to get between you and Carl, especially when
fists and finger nails are swinging around, but!
The way Fly Deep commented about a scuttle valve, by bowing out of the
list insinuating we're a bunch of fools for our "desire to flood a
submarine with freezing cold water," when clearly he has no idea when,
or why, a person would do that, he was asking for everything Carl handed
him. Yes, I agree, it did sound condescending,and if Carl didn't mean
it that he should have.
We have had many come and go from the list. That's nothing new. The
ones that come in to learn and then contribute are a real asset. Some
of them get tired and move on also. Folks come and go but the ones that
benefit most are then ones that come in, sit themselves down, and
observe for a while. We learn much more from listening then talking
about things we don't know.
Having said that, let me welcome you to the group. We probably have a
few other women here but I don't know. It's nice to see you post as
one. I know several women in engineering but none of them are
interested in subs. I'm sure you will be able to contribute and be an
active part of the group if you want to. Just relax, take it a bit
easier and enjoy the comradery. You'll learn a lot and we probably will
too. If it wasn't for the internet and this group, my sub "Persistence"
wouldn't be a few months away from launching. It would still be just a
dream.
Don't knock it until you tried it for a while!
Above all, don't try reading between my lines. There is nothing to find
in between them.
I mean what I say and say what I mean.
Again,welcome aboard,
Dan H.
Maybe this response should have been off the list. If you think so, I
apologize.

Carl,
Now aren't you being just a little bit rude, presumptuous, and
condescending? How dare you talk down to "Fly Deep" like that? You
said you don't tolerate disrespect here; shouldn't you practice what
you preach?
I knew if I waited long enough you'd trip yourself up; and it didn't
take long at all. Now, let's see if the group treats you like they
did me. I'll bet they wont. I'll bet they'll call me a bitch and
tell me to shut the hell up again. But they won't say anything to you.
Come on, PSUBS! Show us what you are really made of! The whole
world is watching.
Best,
Gail

Fly deep, what about you sub idea? From what I see so far, you
aren't
allthat aware of what to do when your sub is un-resurfacable. IOW
you're on the bottom and the only way out is through the
hatch...into
the deep blue sea...and hopefully NOT into the tummy of a big
fish. How
do you plan on doing that without a scuttle valve? Open the
hatch? do
you even comprehend the pressure you're pushing against at a
mere 50'?
20'? Way more than you can fight. Unless your hatch opens inwards,
which alone is unsafe because of the very pressures we're
talking about.
So your hatch will have to open outwards, and you're gonna need a
scuttle valve. Such is life, dude.
