Vance, That definition
of “boats” doesn’t hold water any more due to the large
capacity of heavy lift transport vessels these days. The military subs
with AIP easily fit on these vessels with room to spare. Early military
subs were transported on the deck of a larger vessel thus the term “boat”
which is still used by submariners today. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to
entertain a thought without accepting it. From:

On Behalf Of vbra676539@aol.com Submersibles can be carried ON ships, submarines ARE ships. Vance Gene, By definition,
it would still be a submersible as you have to come to the surface to replenish
atmosphere and batteries. The German and Swede AIP military subs are near
submarine. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to

On Behalf Of HUNTR2@aol.com This thread is very interesting!
One thing you give up with a concrete hull is transportability. I can
pull a K350 with my F250 pickup.... not so with a concrete sub. On
the other hand, a concrete submarine would be a submarine and not a
submersible. Gene Seus Check out the new AOL.
