[PSUBS-MAILIST] List of reference publications from the Marine Technology Society
Hello to all,
Finally our offshore season is over and I am back at the beach. It took me
almost a week to sift through all the mail I had in my box. Is good to see
that there is still a lot of discussions going on.
I am sure that some of you already know about these reference books, but I
am copying them here for the benefit of those who may not know. Some are
historical in nature but many others are design and engineering
references.These are useful resources for those seriously considering
building their own subs. This is a verbatim copy from the MTS website:
