Walrus-class submarine SSK Sealion, Zr. Ms. Zeeleeuw (S803), has joined
the Royal Netherlands Navy after a major maintenance and modernization work had
been done. It included the refurbishment of the CMS
which is now multi-mission and multi-tasking
platform. Together with that torpedoes were upgraded from
MK48 ADCAP mod4 to mod7. The
submarine has also been fitted
with a new SHF satellite communication system. What
is more the SCOUT mine and obstacle avoidance sonar
received from Germany’s L-3 ELAC Nautik GmbH
has been fitted in. The vessel also received new non-hull-penetrating optronic
mast from L-3 KEO which enables the submarine to capture HD footage both day
and night. Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft supplied
and integrated
the second-generation escape system HABETaS. Analox
Military Systems provided Sub Aspida devices. The
Dutch Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) supplied
passive sonar processing systems (PSPS). Part
of the programme was a new anti-corrosion
treatment of the submarines’ hull.
