Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sgt.Peppers for Sale
Its calculate on bouancy ready to dive. Means with ballast.
If I put the outside battery with there displacement out,
remove the pressure foam outside, and some equiment inside
and run the boat only on the emergency inside battery the
figures for Peppers can be lowered by about 50 kg..
360 empty/435 on surface/525 Kg dived.
May it can make his way back to the book.
Between the both boats was a small diesel electric from England - Biber style,
named as "smallest full functional submarine".
With other words - subs without diesel are not full functional during the defintion of GBoR..
Guinness change the criteria from time to time to get other objects into the book..
