Geeeezzz, no pressure then! I'm just plugging along here guys. I hope the reality of this thing intersects somewhere along the line of expectation. Those props look great David. They make all the diference in the world - between a realistic looking sub and a pool toy. I'm going to divide the hull into upper and lower sections along the water line so as well as sending some hulls off to you, I'll weigh the top half and let you know the outcome. That's some way down the track; still grappeling with the details.

Honestly, Scott, this thing will turn out beautifully. Of that there is no doubt. I'm not just buttering you up, either. I've seen the quality of your past projects. You just keep taking your time and doing what you're doing.

I think it's a high frequency 'object (mine) avoidance' sonar.
It was an old practice to physically steer the receiving/transmitting 'beam' using a one or two axis turntable/gimble; the entire array moved. Nowadays the beam is formed mechanically (an armature) or electronically by selecting elements (transducers) of a fixed array for listening and/or transmitting.

Geeezzzz Jörg, you're giving me a heart attack. When I read "K3 did not have it" I almost fainted. Fortunately I read a bit further.
A question; did K3 have the sail mounted, flat panel arrays fitted and what on earth is the perferated disc on the forward face of the sail all about?👍 1Comment

Is it just a trick of the eyes or are there actually two of them? Spaced at roughly 11 & 1 o-clock on the sail? I wonder if it / they had to do with the sonar array that is behind that part of the sail? Almost like a window, but of a different design than those on the bow.
Just a thought.Dead men tell no tales...Comment

Nope. There's only one and it's offset to starboard. Jörg or Fredrik might know what it is.
PS. I really like the look on the face of the only guy who is looking at the camera in this image. It's almost like he thinking, "We're actually going to sea in this thing; WTF"Comment

That's what I got out of that shot of all the guys on deck. No doubt that mob was suffering through a lot of speech-making and formality. And that one guy had enough of it. That look of, 'I'm freezing my nuts off here!'. He can't wait to get below deck.
