The weight of the hull in water? What does that mean? Displacement is calculated at the outer skin diameter of the pressure hull which, along with the displacement of externally added bits and pieces, give you a total payload number in pounds or kilos (depending on your preference).</font></span>
</font>
<div style="font-size:16px;"><span class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><font class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" size="3"><br clear="none">

<div><span class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><font class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" size="3">So if we're talking about a 12,000 pound displacement in seawater for a finished sub, for instance, then you have a crane weight in air of the same amount less the variable payload (crew, vbt fluids, etc., call that 1,000 pounds for convenience).</font></span>
<div style="font-size:16px;"><span class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><font class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" size="3"><br clear="none">

<div><span class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><font class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" size="3">If your pressure hull weighs 5500 pounds, for instance, then during the design phase you have essentially the other 5500 pounds of that 11,000 (12,000 minus the adjustable payload reserve of 1,000 pounds) to play with in permanent gear and so on (motors, decking, electrical distribution, batteries, drop weights, ballast tanks, guard rails, and so on). The 11,000 pound total is your deadweight, or crane weight. Add crew and ham sandwiches and pee bottles, plus some variable ballast water and, all things being equal, you vent the mains and reach (or at least strive for) neutral buoyancy.</font></span>
<div style="font-size:16px;"><span class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><font class="yiv1078569585Apple-style-span" size="3"><br clear="none">

After all, don't toilets flush counter clockwise in New Zealand, or is that hurricanes? I get those two mixed up. In any case, was that what you just said, only different? I'm guessing the weight in water means the weight OF water displaced by the hull. Yes, no? Or am I missing something?</font></span></div>

<div class="yiv1078569585moz-cite-prefix">Les, the total mass of the trimmed-out craft
will be exactly the displacement volume of your proposed craft multiplied
by the density of seawater, if you expect to be neutrally buoyant.
Back of envelope calcs: a 2m sphere is 4.189 m^3, a cylinder 1.2m OD
x 4m is 4.524 m^3, for a total of 8.713 m^3. Multiplying by 1025 kg/m^3
(seawater density) gives 8930.825 kg. Subtract some for the common
volume, add some for superstructure, conning tower etc., but that's the
ballpark. Or are your worried about the dry weight of the steel used
in construction?<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sean<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">On 2014-04-15 23:25, Personal
