But the whole set up is silly.
The subfighters are even worse, 300 knots. On the other hand, they can have a much lower endurance, so supercavitation may be an option. > Aren't there rules for prototypes of higher tech levels?

I don't want to use such rules - mixed TLs make it more difficult to re-use a vehicle. > Darwin had access to flooded "Habitrail" like tunnels throughout the sub, > and had an open spot through which he conversed with the human crew > members. > > Nothing says you can't put a pool cnnected to these tunnels anywhere you > want. > > My question though is, why doesn't this opening allow water to flood into > the ship when she dives to higher pressures?

I can't explain the physics in English, but it is the same principle that allows you to drain fuel from a car with a rubber tube. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
