<div dir="ltr">Hi Brian,<div><br></div><div>I really enjoyed that because its in every way so radically different to any other design. I've always wondered how you would see anything, and that the sphere end might make a better bow for that reason, so the most interesting comment to me was that you intend to use go in one direction when diving and the opposite direction on the surface or mid-water. I never thought of that. My other big concern would be the free surface effect of such long MBTs. Are they baffled or sub-divided? If not, I'm afraid I'd you could have serious instability when MBTs are partially flooded, which is to say when diving or surfacing the boat. The instability could also end up putting the boat in a position such that the vents are no longer at the highest spot of the MBTs.</div>
