Abstract
The invention relates to a floating maritime vessel including at least one hull beneath a deck, the hull extending between a bow and a stern in a longitudinal direction of the vessel, the vessel including, on its lower part, a removable keel and, on its upper part, a conning tower erected above the deck, the keel being able to be descended below the hull and raised back through the hull, the keel including a lower end and an upper end, the upper end of the keel connecting to the hull when the keel is in its lowered position. According to the invention, the conning tower contains a keel-storage space and the keel and the keel-storage space of the conning tower are aligned such that the keel can be raised by upward translation at least partly into the keel-storage space of the conning tower.
