[PSUBS-MAILIST] K350 Main Tanks
James,
If we assume that
a normal K350 is in trim on the surface and on dive station and
you shift
the forward tanks to middship saddle tanks and let the aft tank as it is
-
the boat will be on the surface bow heavy in trim.
A mix of saddle
tanks and a rear tank will be hard to combine.
The saddle tanks must be
more forward than usual and the rear tank relative small.
If you want
to go that way make sure that the center of volume of your tanks is the
same
with your side saddle - stern combine as on the original fwd.- aft
solution.
On the Eurosub we have the saddle tank center forward the
center of underwater displacemnet.
Means it is stern heavy on the surface
and in level dived. For seaworthness it is better the
boat is on the
surface stern heavy or in level - but never bow heavy.
Bow heavy tends to
dive in each wave, is therefore slow under tow and looks really uckly.
