[PSUBS-MAILIST] escape pod

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Option 2.  Again, forget about ballast tanks etc.  Boat goes the other way
around.  Viewports added at the new front end.  Lockout hatch becomes
dome\escape port.  Better view.  Engine does not have to slide on rails.
More work.

Basically I am just thinking at the moment. Workshop still being built.
Plenty of time to think but this is as far as ive got.  Obviously viewports
at the new aft end are blanked off where necessary.
