DESC:This complete specification seeks priority from provisional application number 202221044270 filed on 2nd day of August, 2022 with title “TIGHTENING TOOL FOR OPENING AND TIGHTENING OF NAVIGATION TOOL”

FIELD OF DISCLOSURE
[1] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of marine navigation lights and, more specifically relates to the tools and equipment used in the construction, maintenance, and operation of submarines.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[2] Marine navigation lights are crucial for the safe navigation of all vessels, including submarines. Submarines operate underwater and are nearly invisible to surface vessels, to ensure safe navigation in often challenging and treacherous marine environments, submarines are equipped with specialized navigation lights. These lights are strategically placed on the outer surface of the submarine and serve the crucial purpose of providing visibility to surface vessels and other submarines during both submerged and surface operations.
[3] Furthermore, when the submarine is submerged, it switches to specialized submerged lights that emit a lower intensity and are not visible to surface vessels. These submerged lights help minimize the submarine's visibility, allowing it to maintain a stealthy presence while continuing its underwater operations. Submarine navigation lights are essential tools that aid in the safe manoeuvring and coordination of naval fleets, making them a critical component of modern maritime technologies and practices. The reliable functionality and proper maintenance of these lights are paramount to the safety and success of submarine operations in various industrial applications, including defence, research, exploration, and undersea missions.
[4] Currently, the tools used for opening and tightening submarine navigation lights primarily consist of 2-nut bolts and C-Clamps with different designs. While these traditional tools serve the basic purpose of securing the navigation lights, they come with certain limitations and shortcomings. One of the main drawbacks is the potential for inadequate torque application, leading to uneven or insufficient tightening of the lights. This can result in loose fixtures, compromising the watertight integrity of the navigation lights and risking water ingress into the sensitive components during underwater operations. Additionally, the materials used in these conventional tools may not be optimized for marine conditions, making them susceptible to corrosion and degradation over time. As submarines operate in harsh environments with varying pressures and exposure to sea water, the tools' reliability and durability can be compromised, necessitating frequent maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, these tools may not be specifically designed to handle the unique challenges posed by deep-sea applications, potentially leading to safety hazards and increased repairing time.
[5] Thus, in light of the above-stated discussion, there exists a need for a specialized marine tool that ensures proper and uniform tightening of submarine navigation lights.
