Frank Hobson, 81, who helped
perfect the famed "Momsen"
escape lung for submarines, died
of cancer at Garfield Hospital
Wednesday.
A heart attack In 1852 forced
Mr.. Hobson's retirement from
the Navy Department, where he
had served for IS years. His
last post with the department
was head engineer of the damage
control and personnel protection
branch of the ship technical
branch. Bureau Of Ships.
The escape lung Is an oxygen
tank and mouthpiece device not
unlike the one now used by
skin divers. 1t is used with a
rope and buoy which leads from
the submarine to the surface.
The escaping crew, each wear
ing an escape lung. follows the
rope out of the escape hatch,
up to safety.
Helped Design Parts
Mr.. Hobson's contribution to
the work on the lung in the '20s
was the development of COM
ponent parts as well as design
of the lung training towers-the
silo-like tanks in which future
submarines get training in use
of the lung.
Others who worked on the de-
vice were Vice Adm. (ret.)
Charles B. Momsen and the late
