Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Support craft



Hi Jens
Clever for the time.I see once the caissons were locked in place the water was simply pumped out. After Vance stated that a K can only be towed at 4kts my bubble burst . Im thinking of constructing 2 water displacing pontoons with each pontoon having 3 airtight bulkheads ,on flooding the central compartments the pontoons should just be possisively bouyant, between the 2 pontoons a winchable cradle which once the water has been pumped by bildge pump out of the centre compartments can assist in lifting more of the K out of the water. With the right desighn one could possibly have wheels with oil filled hubs attached to the pontoons permanently to assist with towing out of the water.
