RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull sizing



I decided to refer to Capt. Kittredge's plans from that wonderful booklet I scanned.  His was also 36" and I'm starting to see why its so common.  It allows for pilot (and possible passengers) along with internal components: batteries, scrubbers, lights, lunch, sonar...  Going to have to either re-design for 36" or add external battery pods, something I wanted to avoid...

36 inch seems to be the most common size for a one person sub, unless you are targeting a Sgt. Peppers design in which the pressure hull is just wide enough to protect a standing or prone body.

Right now its all theoretical placement using the dimensions of the components.  My hull diameter is planned at 30", at this point I don't think it will be enough...
