Emergency Life Support Stores

 

Once the rescue assets have arrived at the scene of a distressed submarine (DISSUB) the Emergency Life Support Stores (ELSS) supplies can be re-plenished. This is done through the escape hatch and tower, by either LR5 (UK), Scorpio Remotely Operated Vehicle (UK and US), URF Remotely Operated Vehicle (SW) or divers. 

 

Pods If ELSS is needed onboard the DISSUB this can be supplied via a technique called POD-posting. A POD is a small watertight container which can be inserted via either the escape tower/hatch or in some cases through an empty torpedo tube.
