Lock-out can be accomplished mid-water by a PSUB but the
real question is it safe. The commercial subs (large PSUBs in many ways)
determined that it was very hazardous for a number of reasons, biggest of which
was there were deaths encountered in early mid-water lock-outs.. If it was your PSUB that was responsible for a mid-water
lock-out death, would you want to be the one to have to inform the diver’s
family that it was your sub and procedures that caused the death. You
would also be responsible for negligence in the legal form since the prudent
person would not do a mid-water lock-out, that community practice does not
support mid-water lock-out operations, and knowing this you still committed the
act the 3 proofs necessary for negligence). Any English-speaking general court
will find you guilty as well as any maritime court in the world. You can
do mid-water lock-out but the burden is on you. R/J2

submarine, so poorly built it will not plunge. |
