Pictures Exit and Re-entry on board Dolfijn (4)

Photos from the former official Dolfijn (4) website

If you recognize any of the unidentified seals/equipment, please contact the webmaster at webmaster@dutchsubmarines.com

 

During this "exit and re-entry" the navy seals exit the submarine using the S.E.T. (Single Escape Tower) in the forward torpedo room. After the navy seal has left the boat the SET has to be drained inboard. Of course this operation can be 'reversed' in order to get the seals back on board.

In this case the operation on board the Dolfijn (4) is performed off the Scotish coast in September 2003.
