Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] acrylic dome

["Jens Laland" <laland@artematrix.org>]

** Domes provide such good visibility,
** but cost a fortune.

I would think the amount of truth in the above quoted statement
(especially the part about 'such good visibility') is depending on the
underwater visibility of the waters one plan to operate one's sub.

If a sub is normally operated in waters with no more than 2 feet of
visibility, would such a condition justify the high investment of a large
acrylic dome?

Maybe it would be better to install a smaller, flat peep-hole in acrylic
and spend the rest of the acrylic dome budget on a short range, high
frequency forward looking sonar.

Just a thought...

Best regards,
Jens Laland
