Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] A hull within A hull



thank you all for your input. i might just do that with a small trim tank on the bottom running the length of the boat. the rest of the tank would be an outer hull
cheers,

It is a solution - with a inner hull made from steel - frames outside
and a removable outer hull from GRP. Make more work to produce but can
have a really nice shape. Often done by deep sea boats.

With a inner hull and a outer hull made from steel and the outerhull not
removable it is a cheaper solution - and a big corrosion problem..
special in psubs size boats.

I just had an idea while reading a cross section book. what about a sub
with a 4 foot outer hull( made of thin steel or light weight material)
and the a 3 foot inner steel pressure hull. the 6 inch space arround
the 3 foot hull to the outer hull could be used as a balsast tank while
keeping a very streamlined shape. because the outer hull is not
preasureized you would still only have one through hull connection for
each wire. just another idea to throw out there.
