Abstract:
An underwater vehicle comprising: port and starboard thrusters spaced apart in a port-starboard direction, each thruster being oriented to generate a thrust force in a fore-aft direction perpendicular to the port-starboard direction; a vertical thruster which is oriented to generate a thrust force substantially perpendicular to the fore-aft and port-starboard directions; port, starboard and vertical ducts which contain the port, starboard and vertical thrusters respectively, each duct providing a channel for water to flow through its respective thruster; and a moving mass which can be moved relative to the thrusters in the fore-aft direction to control a pitch of the underwater vehicle.

Claim (Index 9):
The underwater vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the underwater vehicle has a centre of buoyancy and a centre of gravity, and the vertical thruster is positioned so that the thrust force generated by the vertical thruster is offset from the centre of buoyancy and the centre of gravity.
