EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Submarine Training at HMS Vernon: Operating Flooding Gear in a Submarine Escape Chamber, Late 1930s Submarine training at HMS Vernon, a historic shore establishment and stone frigate of the Royal Navy located at Chatham Dockyard in Kent, England, dates back to the early days of underwater warfare. In this evocative photograph from the late 1930s, we witness a pivotal moment in the education of submariners as they learn to operate the flooding gear in a submarine's escape chamber. The Royal Navy's HMS Vernon, with its rich history and tradition, has been a cornerstone of submarine training for over a century. This image captures the essence of the intensive and meticulous instruction provided to submariners, ensuring they are prepared for the unique challenges of life beneath the waves. The submarine's escape chamber, an essential safety feature, is designed to provide a means of escape in the event of a submerged emergency. The flooding gear, visible in the photograph, is used to intentionally flood the chamber to create a pressure equalization between the submarine and the external water pressure, allowing the crew to safely exit through the airlock and ascend to the surface. As the submariner in the photograph deftly manipulates the flooding gear, he is likely wearing breathing apparatus to ensure his survival during the process. This training exercise not only familiarizes him with the equipment but also instills the critical importance of quick thinking and calm decision-making in high-pressure situations. This photograph serves as a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the educational and historical significance of submarine training at HMS Vernon during the late 1930s.
