A shot from the steps cominginto the cabin. Note new design seats and SIMS systems. Door to right leads down below to engine space and surviver's seats etc The empty Y-Class compartment The Y-Class re-entering the boat The aft external CCTV Cam. Both will eventually be infra-red enabled meaning we can see in the dark and search for persons in water using their body heat. This particular one can also zoom into targets!!!
