minimum size of submarine yachts

For a mothership free submarine yacht that is intended to have ocean crossing capability we postulate a minimum size of 130 tons. This is what BEN FRANKLIN drift dive experiment showd as necessary space for a small crew in a 30 day confinement experiment.

For a autonomous weekend cruiser down to 20 tons might be a possible size. See more ( concretesubmarine.com )
