The Petrie Ironman diving suit, invented by Captain Enos B. Petrie of Brooklyn, was a revolutionary advancement in deep-sea exploration during the early 20th century between 1902 and 1907. It marked a significant breakthrough in diving technology, allowing divers to operate at unprecedented depths with greater safety and efficiency. The suit, composed of aluminum alloy and weighing 450 pounds, was designed to maintain surface-level pressure, enabling the diver to avoid decompression sickness, also known as “the bends.” This innovation was a response to the limitations of traditional rubber diving suits with metal helmets, which were only effective at shallower depths and often left divers exhausted.

The Delfin submarine, launched in 1903, was the first combat-capable submarine of the Imperial Russian Navy, marking the beginning of Russia’s efforts to develop a modern submarine fleet. Built during a period of global experimentation with underwater vessels, Delfin showcased Russia’s engineering capabilities and laid the groundwork for future advancements in submarine design. Designed by Ivan Grigoryevich Bubnov, one of Russia’s first submarine engineers, it featured a dual propulsion system with a gasoline engine for surface propulsion and an electric motor for submerged operations. This early system, while innovative, was also hazardous due to the volatility of gasoline fuel.

USS Alligator Submarine 1m

The USS Alligator, built in 1862, was the United States Navy’s first submarine and represented a significant innovation in naval technology during the Civil War. Designed by French engineer Brutus de Villeroi, the submarine measured about 47 feet in length and was constructed from iron, giving it a robust and watertight hull. Initially propelled by a series of hand-cranked paddles operated by the crew, the propulsion system was later upgraded to a screw propeller, although it remained manually powered. The vessel was equipped with air-purifying mechanisms, allowing it to stay submerged longer than most early submarines. Its primary armament was a “torpedo” (essentially a mine) that could be deployed against enemy ships. The Alligator also featured an innovative lock-out chamber, enabling divers to exit and perform underwater sabotage tasks, a novel concept for its time.

The Juliett-class, submarines designed to be like Swiss Army Knives of the underworld, known as Project 651 in the Soviet Union, were a series of diesel-electric cruise missile submarines developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Aimed to provide a second-strike nuclear capability during the Cold War, these submarines were tasked with targeting NATO forces, particularly carrier battle groups and coastal installations. Measuring approximately 90.5 meters in length and displacing around 3,174 tons on the surface (4,137 tons submerged), the Juliett-class was powered by diesel engines and electric motors, allowing speeds of up to 15 knots surfaced and 18 knots submerged. While their range was impressive—up to 18,000 kilometers (9,700 nautical miles) on diesel engines at 7 knots—their operational depth was limited to around 240 meters.

The British M-class submarines were a fascinating and unconventional series of underwater vessels that captured the imaginations of naval enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Imagine a submarine that, instead of relying solely on torpedoes, was equipped with a massive 12-inch gun on its deck. This is precisely what made the M-class submarines so unique and intriguing. Conceived during World War I, these submarines were designed to combine the stealth and surprise of a submarine with the firepower of a battleship. The result was a hybrid that promised to pack a punch from beneath the waves.

They were a series of steam-propelled submarines built for the Royal Navy during World War I. However, they were notorious for being plagued with design flaws and accidents.

These submarines were much larger than their predecessors, with the intention of carrying a significant number of torpedoes and having longer endurance. However, they were beset with issues such as instability, poor handling characteristics, and mechanical failures. The most infamous incident involving the K-class submarines was the Battle of May Island in 1918, where a collision during a night exercise led to the loss of two submarines and 104 crew members.

Later higher bow is also included, it is glued on to the standard bow.
