Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] My "Hammerhead" 1atm sub design-

[Michael Holt <mholt@ohiohills.com>]

I've been thinking about this.  It sounds like a new version of 
Bushnell's Turtle.
It's a great idea, mostly because with all that freeboard getting in and 
out is
a bit less exciting. 

Laying her on her side for thin water is a good thing, too.  One problem
I see often is that boat landings are simply too shallow for submarines.
But if the boat can lay on its side, float to the pier and then stand up
to be entered easily and safely.  (Of course, you might launch the
boat on its side with the pilot on board ....)

The single-curve window is fantastic.  What sort of bracing will you put
inside it?
