Ken,
	What address for the web site?  I'll certainly look into it as I have 
not purchased batts for this year.  Sub is torn down for paint and hydraulic 
penetration plate installation at the moment.
	You will probably be interested to know that HBOI is still plagued 
with fractures in their plexiglas hulls.  The engineering group has decided 
that they really need to replace the metal penetrator plate and hatch 
penetration with nylon units.  NYLON???  Dom ain't going for it.  They are 
changing the angles of the penetrations this time, and now use a nylon 
bearing ring between the acrylic and the aluminum.  And the new hulls are 5 
and 1/4 inches thick.  Yikes.
Regards,
Vance
