The advantage of the DDS compared to the HMS Orpheus system is that it is designed to facilitate divers entry-exit when the submarine is submerged. The size of the Dry Deck Shelter also allows you to carry equipment such as diving thrusters.

Re HMS Orpheus Australian Oberon-class submarines were reported to have regularly conducted operations with special forces, although due to their limited capability these were restricted to circumstances where the boat could surface, and were usually conducted at night. This included placing divers under the casing for further covert movement, or disembarking special forces teams using kayaks or inflatable boats.

Thank you Bob,

British submarines are rather rare in Brest, but in 6 months we saw 2.

Nice catch Michel, I've been trying to catch one of these since they were first built. No luck as yet :-(
