British W - class submarine The W class submarines were built for the Royal Navy as experimental boats . They were based on a French Schneider - Laubeuf design . The design for " W3 " and " W4 " was heavily modified to meet Royal Navy requirements , overcoming some of the deficiencies of the ' off the shelf ' design . In particular , the drop - collars were removed in the later boats . Only 4 W class were built from 1913 to 1916 . The first 2 boats took 15 and 17 months to build which at the time was a remarkable feat compared to other building times . The W class had a very good performance with excellent diving control and efficient venting and flooding systems . The W class did have problems with habitability but other than that , they were good submarines . All 4 of the W class submarine were transferred to the Italian Navy in August 1916 , where they retained their numbering .

Emergency Air Breather An Emergency Air Breather ( EAB ) is a device used on board U . S submarines in emergencies when the internal atmosphere is , or potentially is , unsuitable for breathing . It consists of a mask and air hose . The air hose ends with a fitting that allows quick insertion or removal from air manifolds equipped with quick - disconnect fittings . These air manifolds are located throughout the submarine . While connected to a manifold , the wearer of the EAB can breathe and can move about within a few feet of the manifold . To move any farther , the wearer must disconnect from the manifold , at which time the wearer cannot breathe , and locate another manifold with which to connect . Since the submarine may not be able to ventilate its atmosphere with fresh air for a long time , during which the submarine personnel must continue operating the submarine , all personnel undergo training to ensure they know locations of EAB manifolds and can locate them even if there is no lighting . One training exercise , known as " EAB races " , has personnel assemble at one end of the submarine where they don EABs and are blindfolded . They must then make their way to the other end of the submarine without removing their EAB masks or their blindfolds . Other training exercises require the personnel to don EABs while operating the submarine and its nuclear reactor , and continue the operations without removing their EABs .
