No! (ahem) I mean
not touchy at all....
Actually if we get touchy AVG will be on us like rust on a conning tower and we'll all be sent to bed without supper. Luckily I have a laptop with SH4 on it hidden under the covers that he doesn't know about.
I just raise the scope far enough to clear the shears, maybe 12 inches. And then there's rotation and elevation to consider with possible leaky seals. I hope someone comes back with some research showing whether that could be done. I'm going to check out the actual periscope manual when I get home to see if it has a clue. I also seem to remember that some field teardown and repair was possible at sea.
