Re: Pressure hull

The pressure hull thickness is 0.88 in. amidships, decreasing to 0.63 towards the end.  End dished bulkheads are 1.378 in. thick.  Except for the cover plates over the engine room and the dished bulkheads at each end of the internal main ballast tanks where riveting is used, the pressure hull which is of circular section throughout, is welded.  The greater part of the welding has the appearance of having been done in the shops.
