SUBSAFE is a safety program designed to ensure the secure handling and storage of submarines. It focuses on preventing accidents and incidents that could compromise the safety of the vessel and its crew. The program includes strict protocols for maintenance, inspections, and emergency procedures. The SUBSAFE initiative originated in the U.S. Navy after a tragic accident in 1963. It emphasizes the importance of quality control and accountability in submarine operations. By adhering to SUBSAFE standards, the Navy aims to protect both personnel and equipment, ensuring that submarines remain safe and operational.
