⚙ Under the hood

Trim a generic research submarine with main ballast, fore/aft trim and compensating tanks in a stratified sea: seawater density from temperature, salinity and pressure sets the neutral depth, hydroplanes and a PID depth keeper hold it. Includes a cutaway Blender model and two experiments that compare computed against simulated results.
