Presentation
The snorkel mast allows the functionning of diesel-generators and the renewal of the onboard atmosphere at periscope depth
DCNS’ snorkel mast ensures pressure hull integrity, which makes it operational immediately after hoisting.
Key features
- Pressure resistant, watertight when submerged, hence reliability, quick and easy use
– Redundant safety devices (head seal, head valve, inner cupola) ensuring pressure hull integrity
