Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 180°on the surface.

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuss)]

I saw the most critical point in this turn over not in the loop itself - 
our SAR vessels are designed for that - if anybody on board has an
lifebelt it should work. But to drop the weight is also an option with
destroyed tanks - (collison with mother- or towing ship) or empty gas
storage bottles. How blow the interior to ambient on the surface without
gas. One option away..

Here ist the link to PC-1401 :
