Hello, From concrete to GRP: Today we visit “psubfactory”
Some 6 C-quester subs were in the hall in various
stages of production; from just parts to a completed one. One sub was
undergoing dive tests in a water filled container. An 2 seater version is also under construction to be
completed in April It is totally different fron a K type sub: It has a
normal boat like hull with inside the pressure hull wich contains only the
pilot and some instruments. There are also several pressure tight containers
for battery’s, electronics etc. The oter hull acts also as a large
volume soft tank that can lift the sub We learned something from the visit and the workers
from U-boatworx learned something from our expirience (Nemo has over 300 hours
of diving!) It was a great afternoon! Regards, |
