The SESSPE consists of a submarine escape suit, a thermal protective garment (TPG), a single person life raft and a valise. The SESSPE works with the U.S. Navy hood inflation system (HIS) and the downstream stole charging valve (SCV) to allow escape from a distressed submarine at depths to 600 feet sea water (fsw) (180 meters). Escape capabilities to greater depths is desirable. The SESSPE shall be a form, fit, and function replacement for the U.S. Navy MK11 SESSPE. 1.4 NAVSUP WSS Requirements 1.4.1 See attached drafted Functional Requirements Document (FRD) Rev F.
