Vance and all.... I see the subs with batteries, tanks, and all the rest,
bolted to the outside of the pressure hull, but what do you do if something goes
wrong?
Maybe you get slammed against a rock outcropping, or maybe snagged on a
submerged cable, or maybe a tank line or fitting fails. If the problem is
outside.....How can I fix it?
I like the idea of having all my stuff inside.
With a set of tools onboard, I can re-route air lines, re-do electrical
connections, jury rig something so I can get to the surface, save my self and
passenger, and maybe even the sub.
Another point is entanglement.
I would like to keep my hull as smooth as possible. No hooks, corners, or
snag points.
I ride a dinosaur motorcycle, and I carry tools. That baby always gets me
home. It's the chrome bikes that go in the truck.
I can re-build damn near everything on the side of the road, and I expect
the same sort of problems with my sub.
Shit happens, and you can't anticipate everything, but you can be prepared
to improvise.
