[PSUBS-MAILIST] New submarine

[Alan James]

Scott,
in general people design their boats with a crush depth of
twice their operating depth, then test them to 1.25 or 1.5 x
there proposed maximum operating depth.
So design to 2000 meters & test it to 1250 meters.
Alan

I am playing with the idea of building another submarine. Here is what I am thinking.
1) This project needs to be as challenging as the same amount of difficulty as it was to build my first submarine
2) I want to have lots of bottom time with my K-350 to learn what needs to be improved on in design and ability.
3) Learn to use CAD 
4) Project will take 5-7 years to complete

My initial goals are
1) Hold 3 people
2) Weigh 10,500lbs or less
3) Depth of 3,300 feet (1000m)
4) Have a very effective range of abilities such as a good manipulator arm and tooling
5) Have a wide veiwing maybe a acylic dome front

Ok, shoot holes in the ideas. What will be the main challenges to overcome? What complications am I not considering?

Thanks,
Scott Waters
