<font color='black' size='3' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">It looks cool, which aside from shielding head knockers, is probably the point. I like it though. A steampunk version of George's baby. Lots of propulsion, which I'd like to get some information on, and very cleanly done. Still haven't solved the conning tower latching issue, I notice. Somebody really ought to do something about that. The other issue I have with all that broad shouldered top deck is how much it blocks the pilot's view near the sup. The little ports in the conning tower sides are useless in this configuration, so maybe they will eventually use them for penetrator plates or something. Otherwise, it's a neat variant, being campaigned hard by a guy who will charm your socks off if you stand still long enough. I've met him, and those eyes get just plain old shiny when he talks about this stuff. That's compelling, and I wish him the best.</font>

properties both from general usage in a confined space or in the event of a

<div>There is a photo somewhere of that subs interior. One can clearly see
longitudinal slats mounted inside and over the ribs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to know what those are as they give the interior a smother
neater appearance and an apparent mounting surface.</div>
