ABSTRACT:
A submarine includes a body and two ballast tanks. The ballast tanks are moveable from an up or diving configuration to a down or beach configuration. With the ballast tanks in the diving configuration and full of water, the submarine normally floats awash, and can be caused to dive at shallow depths for sight-seeing. With the ballast tanks full of air and in the beach configuration, the body will float substantially out of water, and the submarine may be beached or brought to a wharf for easy boarding or debarkation. In the diving configuration, the submarine is identical above and below a horizontal central plane.
