[PSUBS-MAILIST] Variable ballast calculations



Would some one be please be kind enough to look this over for me? If I were to be correct with these numbers it would mean some advancement in grasping of the basics.

 

Submerged displacement    = 28,637 lbs

Minus vessel dry weight     - 10,000 lbs

Variable ballast required       18,637 lbs = 2,330 gallons of seawater in tanks

 

Cubic feet of ballast tanks required = 291 cf required to reach theoretical neutral buoyancy.

 

Does this appear viable?

 

Thanks

 

Joe
