Ever wondered what the interior of a military submarine looks like? Well, wonder no more! The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) has provided a drone tour inside their Walrus-class diesel electric submarine. Walrus-class submarines are one of the most effective non-nuclear powered submarines used for intelligence collection :
The drone video shows off a number of important spaces in the sub, starting with the torpedo room. Each submarine has four 533-millimeter torpedo tubes. A typical load of ammunition includes 20 torpedoes and missiles, including American-made Mk. 48 heavyweight general purpose torpedoes and Sub-Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
In this video, the weapon storage racks are empty, and the missiles and torpedoes have been offloaded while the boat is in port, but the drone does give a closeup of the hatches leading to the torpedo tubes themselves.
