Anyone who has ever been on a submarine will have been struck by how cramped the accomodation is.
Pipes and plumbing seem to be everywhere.
The solution is simple - employ Richard Rogers Partnership, architects of the Centre Beaubourg in Paris and the Lloyds Building in the City of London to design
future submarines.

The point is, it has all the services on the outside [hippo, Aug 21 2007]

Yeah, Richard Rogers. Cool. |
|

Who's Richard Rogers? What's a Beaubourg? Does it go underwater? |
|
| |
(Oh, you want _me_ to google it? Pshhh). |
|
| |
You mean "Inside Out Design"? Um, wouldn't that make your submarine rather slow and noisy? |

Sonar Operator: "Captain! I hear something! It sounds like someone dragging an oil refinery through the ocean!" |

Captain: "Ah, must be one of those poncy new Richard Rogers Submarines, launch torpedos." |

//Who's Richard Rogers//
Hint: He didn't help Oscar Hammerstein write "South Pacific".

Sight-seeing tour of Standing Up Submarines in large city centres has become quite a tourist attraction. |

The borg did this in StarTrek. They had forcefeilds though. |

Taking 'put it all outside' to the extreme, couldn't they just keep all the powerplant and stuff on dry land and feed power, air and whatever to the sub via a very long cable? |
|
| |
That ought to save a load of interior space, although I guess the pilots would have to be careful not to get all tangled up. |
|

You could build a sub with 2 skins. A thin one on the outside to make it aquadynamic, then all the crap that doesn't mind being exposed to pressure, then a thick inner skin, then the people. |

"Argh captain, this water pipe that for some reason runs through the ship has just broken, we're filling up with water". "Don't panic, there should be a large red valve about a metre from the leak. Just shut it off, it's obviously not important". |

I'd rather be on the Gene Simmons submarine. |

Read the title with the structure 'person does thing to object'. |
