The present invention presents a Submarine Ice Ballast System based on water, air and 'ice'. The ice can be formed using water and air (chilled).Its state can be changed from solid to liquid and vice versa (solid<-=>liquid). Its functioning provides a submarine with the unique capability to sink & dive by adding weight and buoyancy using ice. The Ice layer onboard protects the crew from potable water shortage, torpedo attack, hull rupture adding stealth and speed besides rescuing the crew and machines from lethal pressure depths of the sea. |
