MadHungarian Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Actually, MadHungarian.....the design flaw would be in ships that are not designed to surface after submerging True that!! I have heard rumors that post WWII the Electric Boat Company experimented with a screen-door design seized from the now defunct Deutches Zinken Und Schwimmen Unterseeboot Fabriken Werks during the war, but it was supposedly a flawed design and the prototype never finished her maiden voyage ......

Lenp Report post Posted March 27, 2019 Did not serve on any boats but worked on plenty when aboard the USS Fulton (AS11) in New London 1972-76 and MOTU-1 in Pearl Harbor 1976-80. Half the class in "B" school were bubbleheads and we had a load of fun together! Retired in 1983 at ETC. Thanks to all for your sacrifices! Most of my years were fun.
