Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fwd: Another sub for sale

>From a cost/benefit perspective there appears to be little utility in
building a psub.  Of course Doug Privitt might disagree.  Others may find
utility in the conspicuous wealth a psub represents.  Or the admiration of
others in terms of the superior creativity and manual dexterity of the
designer/builder.  Of course, these are all superficial asthetic ego driven
notions our scientific minds are rarely concerned with, and have little
utility in and of themselves.  Hmmm,  now what did I do with that hull
calculation.......
