Hi
David,
There
is only a depth sounder on board and it needs a passive Sonar of some
sort so I want to fit that microphone to it. Would be good to have
something. I am wanting to get it out from Tutukaka and dive on the Niagara
with a bit of help from Keith Gordon who is the resident expert on the wreck
and wrote a book on it. He has got some sort of rights to it as there is
still some gold on board. I will be triying it out somewhere safer first
though. Have to have dreams. I’ll be in touch on the build
though. Count on it. Hugh

Hugh,
Very good submarine! It seems as if you have more room than a standard psub.
Well kept. I like your angle indicators...just aquired one simular.
Once operational, where do you ihtend to get her wet?
Any sonar be
it passive or active aboard? Ever thought of building one? I can
help.

Thks
that is helpful stuff. I was thinking of putting some planes on
the Comsub. It has had a rudder retrofitted about 12” x 24” high but it
is in the prop wash. I am just reconnecting the aft lateral thruster and
reconditioning all the hydraulics. AThe hydraulic pump is really noisy
so I’m thinking of putting a pulse suppressor on and a 5 litre accumulator
with a pressure switch. Otherwise I think it will drive me nuts. I
want to go down for some peace and quiet.
I
have uploaded a few photos of the internals and bits on the projects page
under “Hugh Fulton” Comsub.

Hugh,
I
am still working on my presentation for the upcoming Conference and need to
figure the various increases in size for the control surfaces for the
Seehunde. Just remember in the back of my mind the large tail
surfaces on some Perry submersibles...I may be wrong but it just sticks in the
back on my mind. Some of the images in Busby’s Manned
Submersibles might be of assistance.
After
writing the previous email and recollecting on the classes I attended over
lunch while at Electric Boat, for larger Navy subs that have the capability to
operate at higher speeds, the control surfaces are relatively small when
compared to the size of a hull (effectiveness of control surfaces goes up with
speed). The minimum effective speed for these surfaces was 3
knots. For a PSUB, the control surfaces are larger in area compared to
hull size so may be more effective. Unfortunately for us, there is very
little in the way of published naval architecture references for submersible
design and even less for subs the size of the typical PSUB.

Resepectfully,

For
the uninitiated what size were they? Mm or inches will do.
Approximations gratefully accepted.
Would
be helpful. 2 sq ft, 6 sq ft? approx length and
breadth. Hugh
