That is a question for the engineers of coarse. I look at it like the hull is a
big conning tower. Just look how Gamma's CT is built, instead of a hatch it is
a flat port. I know I may be over simplifying it. The engineers are probably
thinking I am mad but.....

Hank,
It's not crazy at all. I just hadn't
thought of it. I wonder if the stresses imposed at test
depth would be too high for the 1/4" hull the thing
would be welded to. It's an interesting thought, though.
Something to consider, definitely.

Vance,
Have you looked at a large full size flat port for the front
of your K350. I
did that with one of my early subs. I had a 24 inch flat
port 4 inches thick
with a 24 inch protection dome. The optics were stunning,
nobody believed it
was 4 inches thick. I checked with Reynolds Polymer and a 7
inch thick 37inch
square unpolished piece is 3,000 dollars US. Is that just
crazy talk or what.
Hank
