Safe depth of 180 feet but it can go deeper...last visit was about 210 feet
Thats THE FIN of the submarine...it helps in balancing and changing directions alongwith antenna on top for radar etc
These are tracking devices...
thats the space for walking...dont expect any comforts here
thats the engine room...an excellent example of engineering efficiency
ye kitchen to shuru hote hi khatam ho gaya...Submarine is excellent example of maximum efficiency and there is hardly any space wasted
this is how the normal light in the submarine when its in use and working
this hatch separates submarine into different compartments so in case of emergency (eg. fire) that section can be isolated after moving personnel from the section and people in other areas can remain safe...
Oxygen Generator onboard submarine Onslow...there is also CO2 scrubber which removes CO2 as well as CO from the submarine
bunks used by people onboard the submarine...people r asked to lie down when they r not on duty as this consumes less oxygen...
On the top (blue) is mark 8 torpedo...not laser guided(used in old days) and below that (with white cap) is mark 23 which can be fitted with nuclear or other warheads and can be laser guided. A submarine can carry upto 20-25 of these.
After fitting torpedo with lid closed and ready to fire...compressed air used to propell the torpedos
Escape hatch which can be connected to rescue vessel in case of an emergency
thats when torpedo is inserted into torpedo tube
This is how an empty torpedo tube looks like...
