Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In many early classes of submarines (see history), the Control Room, or "Conn", was located inside this tower, which was known as the "conning tower". |
 | | Submarines designed for the purpose of attacking merchant ships or other warships are known as "fast attacks", "hunter-killers", "fast boats", or "fleet submarines" (which terms are not synonyms; each is a different design for a different mission). |
 | | The Victor III was the first class of Soviet submarines to be built with this new capability; armed with torpedoes, tactical short-range nuclear missiles (similar to the American SUBROC), and cruise missiles, they posed a more significant threat to NATO sea power. |
