3.12.3.13 Instructor's Station. A space 6706 mm by 6096 mm
should be provided as a combined instructor's station,
electrical, and maintenance room. A raised computer floor
should be provided throughout, with 310 mm clear space below the
raised floor. Lightweight partitions will be added by the
device contractor. These partitions will not support any device
equipment without having additional bracing provided beneath the
raised floor. There should be no windows in the instructor's
station. The instructor's station should be heated and air
conditioned.
3.12.3.14 Miscellaneous. Artificial smoke will be introduced in
the training compartment only. There will be no artificial
smoke in the staging areas or in the emergency corridor.

Mechanical
3.12.4.1 Use Rate. Utilities for the 21C12 and 21C12A
structures (see Table 2) are designed to support ten 4-hour
classes of 25 students each week (2 classes per day). A class
will be divided equally into two groups. Each group will go to
a staging area and remain there for the class duration. Fires
should be fought by the teams separately and simultaneously.
However, only one fire hose will be used at a time since a
majority of submarine firefighting is done with portable
extinguishers. Table 2 is based on training 250 students per
week, 1000 students per month, and 11,000 trainees per year.
3.12.4.2 Firefighting Agents. The 21C12 and 21C12A training
structures should contain four hose stations, two stations are
the combined type and the other two stations are the individual
type. Each of the two combined hose stations should consist of
hose stations SHS1 and SHS2. The combined hose stations are
located in the staging areas. The two individual hose stations
are SHS1 and SHS2 and are located in the fire training
compartment. The hose stations should be served by one 40 mm
angle-globe valve. Provide a bronze end hose cap with the
angle-globe valve for thread ends. The valve should have male
hose threads at the cap connection. The angle-globe valve
should be perpendicular to the wall and should be served by
piping routed in or through the wall. Refer to Section 4
regarding details of hose stations.
