An AsiaOne reporter experiences carrying out maintenance on a model battery system at the Republic of Singapore Navy 's new Submarine Trainer Centre.What does it take to be a submariner in the Republic of Singapore Navy ?
The Submarine Trainer Centre has already produced its first batch of graduates, some of whom will make up the crew on board RSN's first two Invincible-class submarines: I was also given the opportunity to look through a model periscope, a special telescope which allows operators to observe their surroundings above water while inside the submarine.
It was at this trainer where I tried my hand at carrying out maintenance on a battery system modelled after those on board the latest Invincible-class submarines. Another interesting fact that ME4 Toon pointed out was that the protective jumpsuit and mesh gloves, which are attached to the suit's sleeves with metal clasps, formed a closed circuit to prevent engineers from getting electrocuted while handling these high voltage batteries.
He emphasised that it's crucial for these marine engineers to be well-trained and ensure that the submarine is in top shape.
