[PSUBS-MAILIST] "Split hull" question.

["Nomdae Plume" <nomdae@hotmail.com>]

Gentlemen:

I don't know if this topic has been previously discussed, as the archive 
search feature on PSUBS isn't working.  Please pardon if this is an old 
topic.

I was wondering if anyone has built a pressure-hull in sections that are 
bolted together.  I've seen several large-scale subs that have used this 
approach, and was wondering if it also works on the PSUB-sized boats.

My other question regarding sectioned hulls is: Has anyone seen a 
multi-section hull where the seam was lateral? (Think of two bathtubs bolted 
together, one atop the other.)

My interrest in this is that I'm considering how to build a small hull and 
want to be able to easily maintain the inner workings.

Thanks,
NP
