Deep Dive
The Deep Dive is a combined project with the Federation Naval Patrol, Starfleet and the Pacifica Submersible Research Institute. The purpose of the project was to design the next generation of Deep Submersible Exploration Vessel. They wanted this new vessel to go deeper and faster submerged then any previous design. It should also be able to travel through space to its destination as well as be able to land on the planet and then when the mission is finished take off again. By combining research from of the Federation Naval Patrol and the Pacifica Submersible Research Institute it became apparent that the easiest way to for the crew to cope with the stresses of pressure while on deep dives and rapid manoeuvres it was decided to have the whole crew Selkie and have the hull flooded with water. The only problem with the water filled hull was the extra weight that the water would cause when the vessel was launching into orbit. To compensate for this four retractable impulse engines were added to increase the amount of thrust that was needed to reach orbit. Special warp nacelles that were able to retract into the hull when the vessel was submerged to reduce the amount of drag on the hull as it moved through the water. Specially modified impulse engines were designed and added to the vessel to be able to function in space and under water with out any degradation to power to thrust ratio.
USS Serenity History
The Fangtooth class is the newest class of Deep Submersible Exploration Vessels. The USS Serenity NCC-2891 is the prototype vessel designed under a combined project Deep Dive. She was commanded by Commander Bill Grayjoy and was launched on stardate 2412.01.04
Landing Mode
The Fangtooth class starship was designed for atmospheric flight and planetary landings to be possible on water. The vessels shape allows for atmospheric stability and manoeuvrability while descending and acceding from orbit or the planet surface. It also requires force fields to maintain it’s structural integrity while operating in most gravity wells. The hull shape only allows for a water landing and although it can land on land it will need a heavy duty lifting team to get it back into orbit and to a dry dock for extensive repairs.
