<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top">Hank,<br/><br/>I remember having researched this issue once upon a time, and I remember it giving me fits finding it. It's the same navy facility in Md mentioned by Alec , "Calderock," only he took it a step further having actually called them. It's very hard to find on the website, it's listed under laboratories and facilities as the "deep submergence test facility." http://www.navsea.navy.mil/nswc/carderock/pub/what/facilities/facilities_list.aspx<br/><br/>Elsewhere on the site you can find the agreement and cost analysis forms to download. <br/>So Alec has discovered the prohibitive cost which puts an end to it in my book.<br/><br/>It turns out that the best case scenario for a test facility for us PSubbers is a guy in B.C., with a crane and a barge, (imagine that!:)! At 27k mentioned by Alec, It would be more cost effective comparatively with Calderock for a guy from Miami to drag
his little PSUB on a trailer all the way to B.C., with his wife in tow for a little dip in a local lake and one heck of a sightseeing vacation!!,...Ha!<br/><br/>Joe<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPad</td></tr></table> <div id="_origMsg_">

<div>Hi, Hugh</div>
<div>As Vance says, HY80 is somewhat challenging to weld – err, actually, that’s an understatement. We had to work with our fabricators to come up with a whole weld procedure to satisfy our classing agency. If you decide to go this route, let me know and we will share that procedure.</div>
