I went to Worcester, Ma yesterday and looked at Alpha Nekton. It has
secondary windows in the front ballast tank. They are just as thick as the
main portholes. Interesting that it was ABS certified with some square
windows in a "helmet tower" back in the 1970s. Also had bolts
thru the acrylic. Not certifiable anymore to new standards, or without a
lot of work, but was very interesting to climb over and in. It's seen some
history making dives.
