I can't imagine Aphrodite would require separate tanks as they could easily be filled from a low pressure bib from the existing air pressure system.

Nor would I imagine there would be a need to store explosive/flamable gases in the conning tower. I think that any welding that required gas would have the tanks be stored under the decks where it would be safer.

Could these tanks be an emergency air supply either for the conning tower used as an escape tower or to charge "momson" type rescue rebreathers?
