The Swedish submarine rescue vehicle, URF, is presently being built. The author who is the Royal Swedish Navy Technical Project Manager has participated in and is responsible for the final design of the vehicle. The design work has been a teamwork between the Navy, the main contractor, Kockum Shipyard, Sweden and the principal subcontractor, COMEX, France. In this paper are presented design features selected because they are new or interesting or simply because they are significant for the vehicle in its previewed role. URF is a lock-out, rescue submarine with a weight of 52 tons, a load capacity of 2 tons and a multipurpose potential. It costs less than 4 million US dollars. (DePo)
