[PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub Launch at Harbor

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Congratulations Brian,
how was the stability when you were under? Did you move up in to the conning
tower & shake her around?
You should have done a circle underwater.
Alan

You might want to experiment with different orifice inserts in the forward MBT vent opening to see if you can reduce the pitching moment when flooding by reducing the flowrate of air out of this tank.  I use this technique on the R300 for the same purpose.

That was a pretty radical angle, and the speed of it makes me think you had a massive free surface displacement in the MBT. Normally that induces lateral instability, but due to the length of your boat in this case it would be longitudinal instability.
