		The snorkel became a standard fixture of all diesel-electric submarines.
		Basically, the snorkel connects a submerged submarine's diesels to the atmosphere through a pair of tubes, one for air intake, one for exhaust.
		Most notably, the surface-ship-like sharp V-shaped "fleet boat bow" was replaced with a distinctive rounded "guppy bow" (which housed sonar hydrophones in a "chin mount"), and an SV-radar screen was added to the top of the sail, creating a distinctive side bulge.

	USS Trutta (SS-421)
		All four were fitted with snorkels during their first regular overhaul at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, but their modifications differed somewhat from the standard United States fleet snorkel conversion by including only a partially enclosed streamlined sail, by retaining the auxiliary diesel engine, and by incorporating less advanced electronics.
		To replace the lost "Dumlupinar," the fleet snorkel submarine USS Bergall (SS-320) was taken out of active service and lent to Turkey in 1958.
		Ten years later, as the fleet snorkel types neared the end of their useful service lives, they were replaced by a mixed lot of more modern submarines--seven GUPPY IIAs, one GUPPY IA, and two GUPPY IIIs--retired from the United States Submarine Force between 1970 and 1973.

	Scuba diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scyllis surfaced at night and made his way among all the ships in Xerxes' fleet, cutting each ship loose from its moorings; he used a hollow reed as snorkel to remain unobserved.
		Breathing through a hollow reed allows the body to be submerged, but reeds more than two feet long do not work well; difficulty inhaling against water pressure effectively limits snorkel length.
		Breathing from an air-filled bag brought under water was also tried, but it failed due to rebreathing of carbon dioxide.
