| Russian B-39 Foxtrot in Seattle - School of the Boat Photo |
| Series One: Forward Torpedo Room (Compartment No. 1) |
 |
| Photo #116 is of STBD side of FTR, showing the breech doors. The panel shown is
the firing panel. The flasks on the bottom are charged with firing air to a set
pressure, shown on the gauges directly above them. The valves above the gauges
open the air to the firing levers. These levers are stolen from old Frigidaire
Refrigerators. When pulled, the tip pushes the air valve, dumping the air to
the tube, and if you're REAL quick you can see the air spike the gauges above
that (not shown). The snall items partially cut off in the photo are the lights
from Control telling them which to fire. The green valve in the deck just to
the right of the air flasks is the manual vent for the WRT's, has to be opened
before you fire. The laarge ORANGE valve with green handle it the drain from
vertical WRT's into main WRT. There are three blowback lines, one shown, from
the tubes to the WRT's. This is seen above the air flasks. |
