Divers lf you think the SSBNS served by the CANOPUS look large, you should see the entire boat. As with an iceberg, there is quite a bit of submarine underneath the water. The CANOPUS Divers get to see a lot of this part of the submarine that goes unnoticed to most of us. Each time a submarine returns to port after patrol the Divers must perform underwater security checks to ensure that there are no surveillance or explosive devices on the sub.
