The bottom airlock however has a built in drainage system to help with flooding/ballast control and prevent divers from getting knocked off their feet.

• ** The "Ballast Bomb" system ** To eradicate any and all unwanted presence in the ballast tanks the Habakkuk comes equipped with dual detonators on each of the ballast pumps. When armed via the lever next to the navigation terminal (Indicated by the red lights in gunnery and amidships) the bombs can be triggered by motion in the tanks or one of the three buttons amidships. The dual frag grenades loaded in normally are powerful enough to instantly kill all ballast flora in a tank and just about anything small enough to have gnawed it's way in, if the crew is feeling particularly suicidal it will take even stronger explosives. Though anyone seeking to wire in stronger explosives should take note of the bombs proximity to the magazine and cargo...

• **And Dugong style auto doors **

In game Description

The Habakkuk is an utterly unique military sub built into a piece of sheet ice. The literal tones of ablative armor, slough of turrets, and anti personnel explosives make the Habakkuk both exceptionally deadly and expensive to repair. She's cramped, cold as hell, and slower than the glacier she was cut from but damn she's mean.

Notes

I wanted a big attack sub fit for a smaller crew, like a herja but without flooding when you sneezed too hard in it so inspired by the ice pieces in the editor I made this. It's very powerful as long as you pay to have the ice refreshed at outposts.

Trivia: Project Habakkuk was a plan by the British during WWII to construct a gargantuan aircraft carrier out of artificial ice. the codename references Habakkuk 1:5 (KJV)
