Submarine Camel

The universal composite submarine camel provides the critical performance advantages the US Navy needs for waterfront infrastructure- no maintenance, corrosion resistance, long life cycle and operational efficiency. Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite provide all these benefits. Stronger yet lighter weight than traditional materials, composites are the ideal material choice for corrosive environments. Manufactured by Composite Advantage, the universal camel accommodates berthing of all submarine classes.
