Propeller shaft leaks
Posted by: submarinehunt ()

I am wondering how does a U Boat prevent water ingress via the revolving propeller shafts ? I suppose it uses similar technology to ship propeller shafts. But the pressure differential are much higher underwater, so are there special design considerations ?

Many thanks

Pras.
