The Seahorse Patrol is specially designed for long patrols under the
water at depth periscope, fully instrumented it allows early and
discreet detection of surface activity in coastal and shallow waters,
the crew can maintain the sub submerged with just the periscope above
the water and observe with cameras and detection devices . It is a
dry cockpit submarine with optionnal lockout compartments to allow 2
of the crew to exit the sub under the water with a breathing
apparatus for intervention. The pilot waits in the sub on the Sea
floor for their return into the cabin to blow the water out of their
compartment once the hatches had been closed behind. With all the
crew on board the pilot returns to the base.
