| Russian B-39 Foxtrot in Seattle - School of the Boat Photo |
| Series One: Forward Torpedo Room (Compartment No. 1) |
 |
| Photo #120 is of the Pressure Bulkhead at the aft end of FTR. The 31-1/2" WTD
to FB is visible to the right. The red prop shield on the torpedo is visible
lower left. The blue capstan for loading fish is visible lower center. Directly
above it is the compartment drain handle. Above the horizontal part of the
drain crank begins the FWD EMBT Blow manifold, where you can blow individual
tanks or open them all and blow off the top valve as the group blow. In the
upper left is one of the blue handles for Compartment Salvage Air. FTR and ATR
have 2, all other compartments have 3, one for the compartment you are in, one
for the compartment forward of you, one for the compartment aft of you. The
blue item directly above the upper handrail is one of the Torpedo Securing
clips. Not yet sure if this is to drag them out of the tube or to lock them in
place during angles and dangles. I have not yet found the actual part that fits
into this to know for certain. |
