Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment suit Mk 10. Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment (SEIE), also known as Submarine Escape and Immersion Equipment, is a whole-body suit and one-man life raft that was first produced in 1952. It was designed by British company RFD Beaufort Limited and allows submariners to escape from a sunken submarine. [1]
In a demonstration for some VIP civilian visitors, Greeneville performed an emergency ballast blow surfacing maneuver. As the submarine shot to the surface, she struck Ehime Maru. Within ten minutes of the collision, Ehime Maru sank. Nine of the thirty-five people aboard were killed: four high school students, two teachers, and three crew members.
US Navy Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD) Russian submarine-escape suit including an escape rebreather.. Escape breathing apparatus are a class of self contained atmosphere supplying or air purifying breathing apparatus for use in emergencies, intended to allow the user to pass through areas without a breathable atmosphere to a place of relative safety where the ambient air is safe to ...
USS Columbus (SSN 762) performing an emergency ballast blow. An emergency main ballast tank blow is a procedure used aboard a submarine that forces high-pressure air into its main ballast tanks. The high-pressure air forces ballast water from the tanks, quickly lightening the ship so it can rapidly rise to the surface.

A civilian as well as military application of the SLOT buoy is the use as emergency message transmitter. [9] If a submerged submarine faces a problem that prevents it from reaching the surface of the ocean, e.g. problems with the ballast tank, it can record a distress call on the buoy and launch it. The buoy will ascend to the surface and ...
Davis breathing apparatus tested at the submarine escape test tank at HMS Dolphin, Gosport, 14 December 1942. The DSEA rig chiefly addressed the problem of anoxia threatening a person ascending through water, by providing oxygen; and the associated risk of lung over-pressure injury as underwater pressure reduces with reducing depth, which it addressed by managing oxygen pressures.
