[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Gamma launch

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Very cool, Hank. 

You always make launching look easy-peasy.  The sub is a heavy RV, go with the diesel truck.  Don't you have a spare highway tractor kicking around?

Interesting results on the longitudinal stability. It shows that the wetted length provides a fair amount of keel effect.  Have you noticed any reduction in forward speed due to the change from the conical tail to the hemispherical stern? Probably not since you are using different thrusters.

Another note, although there is still a lot of Gamma in that submarine, there is very little Nekton.  Time to start calling it Pronk Gamma.
