As awesome as the newer nuke boats are, the bow plane and stern plane arrangments of the earlier diesel boats seem the best at keeping both trim angle and depth control. Fast depth changes should be much easier with both the bow and stern working together. This would be handy say at periscope depth or when in close proximity to the ocean floor. With more control over the boats angle, fast and smooth depth changes seem as if these would be a breeze. In a boat that relied more on planes surfaces than on rotational motor mounts, this seems to be the better configuration. Any thoughts on this? I am going for view and sight seeing (smooth gliding) rather than slow work horse and object retrieval purposes. Two joy stick controls (left for stern planes, right for bow planes) and two foot pedals controls (for rudder control). Three indicators...depth, course, and speed with passive sonar speaker where best to hear it. (maybe a depth chart recorder for depth reference.) and some form of motor speed control and battery level indications.KISS.
