  2. Photonics mast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonics_mast

    A photonics mast aboard a Virginia-class submarine. A photonics mast (or optronics mast [1]) is a sensor on a submarine which functions similarly to a periscope without requiring a periscope tube, thus freeing design space during construction and limiting risks of water leakage in the event of damage.

  3. Virginia-class submarine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia-class_submarine

    The current photonics masts have a visual appearance so different from ordinary periscopes that when the submarine is detected, it can be distinctly identified as a Virginia-class vessel. As a result, current photonic masts will be replaced with Low-Profile Photonics Masts (LPPM) which resemble traditional submarine periscopes more closely. [52]

  5. USS North Carolina (SSN-777) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_North_Carolina_(SSN-777)

    This class of submarine is unique in that it features the Photonics Mast Program (PMP) that freed ship designers to place the boat's control room in a lower, less geometrically constrained space than would be required by a standard, optical tube periscope. It is additionally unique in the U.S. Navy for featuring all-digital ship and ballast ...

  9. Astute-class submarine - Wikipedia

    These submarines can also be fitted with a dry deck shelter, which allows special forces (e.g. SBS) to deploy whilst the submarine is submerged. [33] More than 39,000 acoustic tiles mask the vessel's sonar signature, part of acoustic qualities that give the Astute class over any other submarine previously operated by the Royal Navy. [34]
