Submariners,

I also hope to purchase blueprints for Capt. Kittredges K-350.  Just bought
a new house and trying to rent the old.  The better half promises to give me
the green light as soon as that's done.

I have contacted Capt. Kittredge with a number of similar questions.  As for
the actual source of the steel, I do not yet know.  However, I'll quote
Capt. Kitteredge from a recent letter; "The cylinders for the pressure hull
and conning tower are rolled and then framed which is very important.
Battery pods are schedule 40 pipe."

Hope that helps.

Bill Winner
