Wow those guys have some good metal fab skills. I would like to see more pictures and data on this sub. Looking at the picture, it looks like the extra tubes below the saddle tanks were an after thought. Perhaps they are additional soft tanks to deal with a extra heavy conning tower problem like the RV Needlefish has? I would sure like to see Bill Gifford rework some things on his sub, so we can see it fully operational.
