RSV Artemis "Feli" nuclear-powered SAR ship
Introduction
The RSV Artemis “Feli” is my first fully built rescue vessel: An ambitious project designed for reliability, versatility, and long-range emergency response. The ship is powered by a compact nuclear reactor feeding a steam boiler, driving eight steam turbines for smooth and consistent propulsion. This setup ensures long endurance and excellent power output while keeping fuel requirements minimal.
Spread throughout the vessel is an extensive set of equipment built for various rescue scenarios. At the bow, a high-pressure water cannon provides strong firefighting capabilities. Integrated sonar provides excellent underwater awareness, while a powerful radar covers the sky! On the port aft section, a small RHIB is ready to deploy within seconds for fast-response surface operations, capable of reaching 50 knots. On the top deck sits a light rescue helicopter, perfect for long-distance or hard-to-reach situations, boasting a maximum speed of 85 knots.
A large crane dominates the aft deck, designed for cargo lifting, salvage operations, or general support tasks. Alongside it is a powerful towing winch, enabling the Artemis to stabilize or pull other vessels during emergencies. The aft deck integrates the full “Unicon” system by 454SS, providing advanced and/or standart Cargo loading.
Community advice, feedback, and improvements are highly welcome!
Interior Layout & Crew Facilities
Bridge & Operations Center
The bridge is designed with practicality and visibility in mind: a clean, modern layout with unobstructed 360° sightlines. All navigation, radar, sonar, and Unicon interfaces are centrally arranged for ease of use, even during single-person operation.
Built into the rear section of the bridge is a compact but fully functional galley kitchen, allowing the crew to prepare meals without leaving the main operations area, especially convenient during long rescue missions.
Crew Area
Immediately beneath the bridge is the primary crew space, featuring comfortable seating, storage, and a small briefing area. This provides a calm internal environment for planning missions, coordinating rescue efforts, or taking breaks away from the helm.
Medbay
Behind the crew area lies a dedicated medical bay, equipped for stabilizing injured survivors until they can be transported to proper medical facilities. It includes basic monitoring systems, first-aid supplies, and enough room to treat one to three patients.
Crew Quarters
At the front of the ship, the crew quarters offer multiple bunks, personal lockers, and additional storage. It’s compact but efficient, intended to house the recommended 4 crew members, though the ship can comfortably accommodate more. With full automation, the Artemis can also be operated by a single person if necessary.
Aft Equipment Storage
Behind the working areas on the stern are several equipment storage rooms holding tools, diving gear, firefighting equipment, repair kits, and rescue supplies, ensuring the crew has everything they need for rapid-response situations.
Engineering & Safety Systems
The engineering section is protected by a dedicated fire suppression system, automatically triggering in case of overheating or combustion risk. All water-exposed compartments feature automatic bilge pumps, ensuring the vessel stays afloat even if damaged.
