Does anyone have a picture of what this "escape trunk" looks like?

THANKS

This is largely what it looked like, in a nutshell you get in, it floods then you can open the exterior hatch to get out, and then you close the hatch so the trunk can be drained and used for the next group of escapees.



Escape trunk instructions from an old nuke sub but procedure should roughly be the same for the WWII versions.
