Frank, When tourist
subs were real hot, I did a grad paper evaluating the market and it quickly
pointed out that there really wasn’t much of a market for them. A
lot of money was squandered, just wish I knew where al of the hulls are
now! As part of that, met the lady that was party of the USCG team
evaluating the safety issues that the Coast Guard would have to monitor.
There was a great publication out of that with a contingency planning tree that
would be very applicable to PSUBS if I remember correctly. Gotta get off
line and finish packing. Off to the States for a week and will spend one
day filming the U-505 in R/Jay From: owner- Jay. I think you are right about the
" positive buoyancy " requirement in the coast guard guidelines being
for tourist subs. Someone sent us the link and I will try to retrieve it and
post it again. It was a good read. Frank D. |
