<DIV><FONT size=3>I was trying to find some information on the
clarity/visibility in Seneca Lake. Didn't find anything specific, but it's
spring-fed (among other sources) and has a year around temp of about 39 F except
for the top 10-15 feet which warms to 70-80 degrees in the summer. Seems
that would make it a good location for cold-water testing even in the
summer. You could also test how the thermocline affects communication and
sonar equipment.</FONT></DIV>

class=yiv1757694927Apple-style-span size=3>Web Maynard built his K-350 and
took Kittredge at his word. He dove it to test depth in 100 foot increments.
DOVE IT, mind you. As in, climbed aboard and went on down there himself. He
didn't see the problem. The hull was okay. He knew that from the start and
figured a guy with a flashlight and a handy crescent wrench was safer than
sending all that money down on the end of a string. Not everyone's cup of tea,
but it worked just fine. Web just shrugged when I raised an eyebrow. "What was
going to happen?" he asked. "Piddly little leaks, maybe. Nothing more." And he
didn't even have those. The little K just went about its business, pretty as
you please. He did that up in the Finger Lakes in New York, one of which has a
500 foot plus hole somewhere. Quite a guy, old Web. You gotta love him for
sheer balls. He was a professional fire fighter. Plenty of nerve to go around,
those folks.</FONT> </FONT>

Great White Mods. Gonna be hard for the historians to track this down in a

<DIV>James,<BR clear=none>What is your plan for your deep test?<BR

<DIV>AHA! new subject title!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Plan for the deep test is to take it out to sea and sink it down.
I'll rig up some sort of lift bag arrangement to bring it up. Ive got
60m of water fairly close in, plus i can have a diver with it at that depth,
so that should be at least a start. If thats ok, i plan to take it out
to 150m of water, which is quite a bit further out. There is a boat here
that is an old navy landing craft (fought in the Falklands war) and has been
fitted with a hiab crane. They use it for shipping stores to the smaller
islands. Im hoping to use that for the big test. I have to just
ask the bloke at the right moment...</DIV>
