Artificial reef

An artificial reef (AR) is a human-created freshwater or marine benthic structure.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Artificial reef

Beam (nautical)

The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Beam (nautical)

Bow (watercraft)

The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is usually most forward when the vessel is underway.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Bow (watercraft)

Ceremonial ship launching

Ceremonial ship launching involves the performance of ceremonies associated with the process of transferring a vessel to the water.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Ceremonial ship launching

Conning tower

A conning tower is a raised platform on a ship or submarine, often armoured, from which an officer in charge can conn (conduct or control) the vessel, controlling movements of the ship by giving orders to those responsible for the ship's engine, rudder, lines, and ground tackle.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Conning tower

Diesel engine

The diesel engine, named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Diesel engine

Diesel–electric powertrain

A diesel–electric transmission, or diesel–electric powertrain, is a transmission system for vehicles powered by diesel engines in road, rail, and marine transport.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Diesel–electric powertrain

Displacement (ship)

The displacement or displacement tonnage of a ship is its weight.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Displacement (ship)

Draft (hull)

The draft or draught of a ship is a determined depth of the vessel below the waterline, measured vertically to its hull's lowest—its propellers, or keel, or other reference point.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Draft (hull)

Drive shaft

A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft (Australian English), propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft (after Girolamo Cardano) is a component for transmitting mechanical power, torque, and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drivetrain that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Drive shaft

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Electric motor

Fishery

Fishery can mean either the enterprise of raising or harvesting fish and other aquatic life or, more commonly, the site where such enterprise takes place (a.k.a., fishing grounds).

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Fishery

Miura District, Kanagawa

is a district located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Miura District, Kanagawa

Scuttling

A ship is scuttled when its crew deliberately sinks it, typically by opening holes in its hull. Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Scuttling are scuttled vessels.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Scuttling

Ship commissioning

Ship commissioning is the act or ceremony of placing a ship in active service and may be regarded as a particular application of the general concepts and practices of project commissioning.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Ship commissioning

Submarine

A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Submarine

Sulzer (manufacturer)

Sulzer Ltd. is a Swiss industrial engineering and manufacturing firm, founded by Salomon Sulzer-Bernet in 1775 and established as Sulzer Brothers Ltd. (Gebrüder Sulzer) in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Torpedo

A modern torpedo is an underwater ranged weapon launched above or below the water surface, self-propelled towards a target, and with an explosive warhead designed to detonate either on contact with or in proximity to the target.

See Japanese submarine Ro-20 and Torpedo

Torpedo tube

A torpedo tube is a cylindrical device for launching torpedoes.
