Water Tight Doors

JFD has designed and built a range of hatches for naval submarines, including external hatches and internal watertight bulkhead doors. These can be shock and vibration qualified as well as 3rd approved under Classification Body's.

Escape Towers

The primary method of escape, these may also be combined with routine access on and off the submarine for special forces operations, and be surrounded by the rescue mating seat.
