[PSUBS-MAILIST] Nuytco sub observations

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

It's funny how some things stick in your mind even though we experienced 
so much in Vancouver.  A couple of things that I've been thinking about:

1) Did anyone else notice the clarity of the underwater communications?  
I'm not sure what I expected, but I found it crystal clear and think 
that we should really be promoting it as standard equipment on our subs.

2) I noticed that the back head on Phils newest sub ( click this link 
http://www.psubs.org/convention/2009/photos/jonw/800/DSCN0773.JPG ) is 
segmented rather than pressed from a single blank of steel.  I remember 
Phil talking about this but don't recall the benefit of using segments.  
I've been looking at Prescor in Tulsa Oklahoma who heat steel blanks and 
then press them into the correct shape with a die.  Is there any reason 
this is not as viable as a segmented head?
