Submariners Give High Marks To New Steam Suit Prototype
Posted By: Richard Sisk April 26, 2017
Sailors from the Los Angeles-class attack submarine Toledo gave high marks in recent tests to the prototype steam suit protective gear they would use to fix steam line leaks that posed a threat to the crew and the boat.
In tests at Naval Submarine Base New London, Conn., members of the Toledo’s crew said the new suit gave them more flexibility and was easier and quicker to put on. They especially liked the three-finger glove, as opposed to the mittens on the old suit that has been in the fleet for years.
