[PSUBS-MAILIST] External Shapes

[Alan James]

Joe,
my humble opinion is that you will increase the weight of your hull by making
it a uniform thickness. This will mean that it will reduce the amount of lead weight you 
can put down low to lower the centre of gravity. When you empty your ballast tanks
you may topple over & have to do a wet exit via your new moon pool.
Alan

Please confirm or rebuke the following train of thought.

If one were to use an unsupported cylinder of sufficient sizing for the intended design depth,...then that same design is free to use external framing to form an external shape of choice? 

Assume uneven spacing of said frames.
