Gene,
 
Very interesting information. Did you take any pictures?  I'm having trouble finding any pictures of Alpha Nekton on the net.

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.
