Torpedo tubes.
In modern USN SSNs the torp room is not forward, but closer to amidship. The torpedoes must penetrate the pressure hull at less than the 10° angle at which they exit the ship. A greater than 0° pressure hull penetration would require an unwanted weakness in the form of an elipse in the pressure hull. Yet at some point the 10° angle is attained. In a 256” tube the obvious answer is that a larger tube inboard is represented to accommodate the torpedo, before and as it exists the boat.
Did any of that make sense? Any thoughts? Or am I just giving up un needed info? Last edited by The Third Man; 08-22-10 at 02:37 PM. |

Consider it forgotten. Whatever it was.

That doesn't really make sense to me. Perhaps a better context would make it more understandable.

five minutes, I have been here longer,
and what I know or have knowledge of, it is quite another.

Other than the shutters rotating as apposed to sliding you won't get anything else from me on this subject.
Positive control. |
