Exactly Ray,
George Kittredge told me that several times
he had contacted ABS, Lloyds or Nippon with proposed
situations and they would just tell him to build it and try it. When the
first K subs were built they we so far down to the small end of
what these guys was used to, they were off the charts.

Hi Hugh,
Could be that ABS wasn't so stringent hen the Kittredge boats got
certified. They may not pass if the designs were submitted now.
Regards,
I would like to ask a question
which I have struggled with in that the ABS specifies hull thickness of no
less than 0.375? excluding corrosion allowance and yet Kittredge designs are
supposedly to ABS and are ¼? thick.. can anyone explain how they claim
to be ABS design.
Hugh
