    In submarine technology a vent is a valve fitted to the top of a submarine's ballast tanks to let air escape from the top of the ballast tank and be replaced by water entering through the opening(s) called "flood ports" or "floods" at the bottom of the tank. In earlier times, the openings at the bottom of the ballast tank were fitted with valves known as Kingston valves. These valves were eliminated in the U.S. Navy between the World Wars.

    When on the surface a submarine's ballast tanks are filled with air which gives the vessel its buoyancy and in order for the submarine to submerge water is taken into the ballast tanks through the flood ports at the bottom of the tanks, effacing this excess buoyancy. As the ballast tanks contain air when on the surface it is necessary to allow this air to escape, so that water may then enter the tanks, and this air is allowed to escape via the opened vents in the top of the ballast tanks.

    The vents which are used to allow water to enter the submarine's main ballast tanks when it submerges are the main vents and it is air escaping though these that accounts for the spray sometimes seen when submarines dive.

    Vent (tailoring)

    A vent is a vertical slit rising from the bottom hem of a jacket or a skirt, generally to allow for ease of movement.

    In the case of jackets, vents were originally a sporting option, designed to make riding easier, so are traditional on hacking jackets, formal coats such as a morning coat, and, for reasons of pragmatism, overcoats. Today there are three styles of vent: the single-vented style (with one vent, either directly at the center or roughly 3 cm to the right); the ventless style; and the double-vented style (one vent on each side). Vents are convenient, particularly when using a pocket or sitting down, to improve the hang of the jacket, so are now used on most jackets. Single vents jackets are associated with Italian tailoring, while the double-vented style is typically British. (This is not the case with all types of jackets. For instance, dinner jackets traditionally take no vents.)

    On skirts, vents are particularly associated with pencil skirts where they may be necessary for free movement, but they may also be added for reasons of style, as they have the effect of exposing more of the legs. The most common style is a single vent of a suitable length at the back of the skirt, but they may be located anywhere.

    Numb

    by: Vent

    yeah this is how it ends
    after all these years
    tired of it all
    hopelessly helplessly broken apart
    he finally falls
    he doesn't want to think
    doesn't want to feel
    doesn't want to know what's going on
    says there's nothing he can do will change anything
    he doesn't want to know what's going wrong
    because he's in love with a drug
    one that makes him numb
    one that stops him feeling at all
    he's in love with a drug
    forget everyone
    he really doesn't care anymore
    anymore...
    Yeah this is how it ends
    after all this time
    everything just fades away
    worn-out and empty and all alone
    with nothing left to say
    oh it's all too big to make a difference
    it's all too wrong to make it right
    yeah everything is too unfair
    everything too much to bear
    he doesn't have the strength left for the fight
    says all he wants is the drug
    the one that makes him numb
    the one that stops him feeling at all
    he just wants to take the drug
    forget everyone
    he doesn't want to care anymore
    just keeps loving the drug
    the one that makes him numb
    the one that stops him feeling at all
    just keeps loving the drug
    the drug that he's become
    he isn't really here anymore...
