Vance, OK, I over simplify. Planes will work but how big do they have
to be to be effective? In addition to having a deep chord, was the size of
these planes larger in proportion to the size of the sub then the proportion
found on a K-250? R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC) From:

Perry planes worked nicely at under ONE knot!!! You have to bully them some,
but they absolutely do work. Mind you, they are deep chord winglets with side
plates. I think the dive planes had four or five separate pieces to weld up,
plus the shaft and hyd piston lever arrangement, plus a chunk of magnesium
bedded to bare aluminum for electrolysis protection. And the rudder is three
feet high, boys and girls. Planes are ineffective at speeds somewhere just under 3 kts.
That is why many K-250s are reconfigured with a trainable stern
motor in place of the rudder. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. 0A - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC) From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org

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. Get
