Abstract
An essentially cylindrical, elongate pressure hull includes at least one pressure antechamber arranged essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the pressure hull. The pressure antechamber includes an access opening to the pressure hull which is closable in a pressure-tight manner and an access opening to the outside which is closable in a pressure-tight manner.

A submarine with a substantially cylindrical, elongate pressure hull which comprises at least one pressure antechamber arranged essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the pressure hull, wherein the pressure antechamber comprises an access opening to the pressure hull which is closable in a pressure-tight manner, and an access opening to an outside of the pressure hull which is closable in a pressure-tight manner.
A method for retrofitting a pressure antechamber in a submarine, the method comprising the steps of:
- dividing the submarine transversely to a longitudinal axis of the submarine;
- a submarine section containing the pressure antechamber is integrated in-between the divided submarine.
