Dependability

S^^^r^r W* since 1955 operation the hull is turned again to the up- right position.

The superstructure is assembled separately in the component area and installed as a unit following construction of the hull and upper deck.

GRP and foam sandwich components for construction and outfitting are manufactured in the component fabrication area. The hull is constructed in a 4-meter-deep construction dock which is fitted with lifting platform and turning mechanism to ensure that the hull can be lifted and rotated as necessary to achieve the best attitude for laminating activities.

A comprehensive quality program to the standard of AS1822 is utilized to ensure that the strict requirements for structural strength reproducibility and magnetic cleanliness are met.

The weapons containers, designed as part of the weapon system by Krupp Atlas Elec- tronik, are also manufactured from foam sandwich in the facility using the same stand- ards as are applied to the Minehunter.
