Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019011831A1] The invention relates to an underwater body (101) having a movable component (107), which can be moved into an extended position and as a result increases the volume of the underwater body (101). The invention further relates to a method for operating such an underwater body. An expansion means (113, 115, 117, 119) is capable of conducting a fluid (121) into a hollow space. The hollow space is operatively connected to the movable component (107). By the fluid (121) being conducted into the hollow space, the movable component (107) is moved relative to the sleeve (103) of the underwater body (101) into the extended position. The fluid (121) hardens in the hollow space. The hardened fluid (121) in the hollow space keeps the movable component (107) in the extended position.
