Description
A ship with its own submarine
The set's centrepiece is the research ship, fitted with a crane, a bridge and an open cargo area that holds the included small submarine. The crane rotates, so the submarine can be lowered into the water and hoisted back aboard, giving the model real play function beyond its looks. Extra gear such as a small dinghy adds further options for rescue and research scenes, and a rear-mounted arm with a grabber rounds out the ship's functions.
Seven minifigures make up the crew
With seven minifigures, the cast is unusually large for a City set and covers a range of roles aboard, from the ship's command to the diving team. Diving gear and specialised accessories make clear this is about genuine underwater research rather than plain transport. The larger cast makes it easy to run several scenes at once, on deck and underwater at the same time. That range of roles also gives the set good replay value beyond a single rescue or research mission.
273 parts in calm greys
With 273 unique parts across 718 pieces, the Deep Sea Exploration Vessel ranks among the more detailed sets of its size in the City range. The palette of light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, black and white feels technical and functional, matching the research theme throughout. Anyone curious about exactly how the colours and shapes are distributed will find the full parts list on this page, and the many small specialised elements around the crane and submarine explain much of that part count.
Vehicle parts that work well elsewhere
Because both the ship and the submarine work as standalone vehicles, the set plays flexibly, including as two separate builds. Parts from the hull and crane assembly also suit custom harbour or research scenes built alongside other City sets. For anyone who enjoys maritime themes, the set offers noticeably more substance than a standard single vehicle, and makes a solid gift for fans of ships and underwater worlds.
