[PSUBS-MAILIST] G.L. Submersible Classification

[Jon Wallace]

No, I think you've got it right.  With the exception of Carsten I 
suspect we have more knowledge about ABS than GL, so I would go with GL 
and the rest of us can make comparisons as they come up. I suspect 
there's a lot of commonality anyway.  ASME seems to be the resource that 
many use as the "back bone" for their own rules.
