message: Formatting that encases the framed table of contents in text, in just the way a framed map or image is enclosed within the text, is now available:  in the HTML does the job. 
Blank space opposite the ToC, besides being unsightly and distracting, suggests that there is a major break in the continuity of the text, which may not be the case. Blanks in page layout are voids and they have meanings to the experienced reader. The space betweeen paragraphs marks a brief pause between separate blocks of thought.  A deeper space, in a well-printed text, signifies a more complete shift in thought: note the spaces that separate sub-headings in Wikipedia articles. 
A handful of thoughtless and aggressive Wikipedians revert the "TOCleft" format at will. A particularly aggressive de-formatter is User:Ed g2s

message: On  you can view a technical drawing of the U1 submarine from 1906. Aren't the tubes errected over the engine compartement and bow torpedo room snorkels? They are quite a bit taller than the sail. If yes, the history needs to be rewritten. User:Alureiter 00:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Submarine snorkels before WWI?

message: Here you can see a Leclerc with snorkels but without a tube for the commander's hatch. Since it's a western tank I changed the text accordingly. Alureiter 19:46, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Vehicle snorkels

message: :Image:USS Chicago (SSN 721) at periscope depth off Malaysia.jpg is rather misleading because as far as I know, Los Angeles class submarines, being nuclear-powered, don't actually have snorkels. However, it does illustrate the section well, even if it's not factually accurate. An actual photo of a snorkelling submarine would be ideal. --Sum0 15:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Aquamax sells a snorkel that creates an air pocket with enclosed curves at the top of the tube. I used one for years, and I would never use anything else.  It really does let the air in and keeps the water out.  They are easily found and are worth the money, around $35.00.  Even Wal-Mart sells them on the internet.204.80.61.10 20:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest this article be split into Submarine/Vehicle snorkels and swimming snorkels.
I will wait for some feedback before actually making a new page and such.

replies: text: Split There is little in common between the two articles.  Indeed, just about the only thing they share is the name.  Squigish 07:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: While original addressibility must be maintained, the vague original section title above was a wretched choice; I now retrofit subdivision the old content into two subsections, for the de-confoundment of future readers of this talk page.br<>--JerzyA (talk) 02:18, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

message: The larger internal air volume of more modern submarines does not mitigate the ear pain, it just takes longer for the engines to draw down the vacuum when the head valves are closed. In US submarines, the engines were fitted with high-vacuum cut-off sensors that shutdown the engines when the vacuum in the ship reached a pre-set point. I therefore changed the sentence to explain the use of high-vacuum cut-off sensors.Tvbanfield 21:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've moved this to Snorkel (disambiguation) and made Snorkel a redirect to Snorkelling.  All the other meanings are secondary.  There may also be room for a separate article on "the rubber and plastic tube and mouthpiece device that one uses for remaining submerged" (see above).  Superm401 - Talk 14:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The Kenworthy Snorkle Camera uses a periscope-like lens to enable shots it tight quarters.  It was used in filming Carl Sagan's Cosmos. --Mdwyer (talk) 04:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
