To the visitor on campus, the 360-foot naval tank offers a weird ride on its observa- tion platform. For the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineer- ing, the tank is a unique laboratory for teaching ship design and construction and for research; but to Joey the goldfish, who is undisturbed by scientific experi- ments, the mammoth tank is home.
