Engineering concept of the Naval Experimental Manned Observatory for continental shelf depths. Scope of Investigation The present study was limited to the investigation of a single 120-inch spherical capsule concept, grade G acrylic Plexiglas material, a single fabrication technique, and one operational depth. Only sufficient experimental investiga- tions and analytical studies were to be performed to substantiate the adequacy of a single prototype 66-inch detailed capsule design for operation at continental shelf depth. The experimental data were limited to the recording of critical pressures, change of displacement, and strains of capsules under hydrostatic pressure. Analytical studies were limited to calculating critical pressure and strains under short-term loading, the only experimental condition for which analytical tools were in existence.
