A marine vessel adapted to be moved from place to place in a horizontal position is brought into its stationary vertical position, e.g. for observation work, by displacement of its C of G. As shown, during travel the hull 1 of the vessel is lifted from the water surface, e.g. by hydrofoils and/or propellers 3. Said lift imparting means is movable relative to the hull so as to move the C of G of the vessel towards the stern and thus change the attitude of the vessel to the vertical position. The struts 6 and 2 carrying the propellers 4 and 3 (as shown), or hydrofoils swing about transverse axes 7 and 5 (Fig. 2, not shown). The attitude of the vessel may be arranged between the horizontal and vertical positions by partially swinging the struts. The vessel may be completely submerged (Fig. 5, not shown), and may be equipped with diving tanks.
