Abstract (en)
A watercraft system (10), wherein the watercraft system (10) is a submarine or a submersible configured to be submerged in water. The watercraft system (10) may comprise: a hull (12) having a longitudinal axis (14) which extends between an aft end (16) and a forward end (18). The hull (12) may comprise at least a first hull module (100) and a second hull module (200). The first hull module (100) may define the aft end (16) and a first interface element (102) which defines a first hull module opening (106). The second hull module (200) may define the forward end (18) and a second interface element (202) which defines a second hull module opening (206). The first interface element (102) and second interface element (202) being configured to couple with each other to form a sealed joint. The first interface element (102) and second interface element (202) may be configured to be uncoupled from one another. The watercraft system (10) may be operable with the first interface element (102) of the first hull module (100) coupled to the second interface element (202) of the second hull module (200). The watercraft system (10) may be operable with the first hull module (100) and the second hull module (200) coupled together by a third hull module (300) provided between the first hull module (100) and the second hull module (200). The third hull module (300) is configured to be uncoupled from the first hull module (100) and second hull module (200).
