	BHARAT RAKSHAK MONITOR: Volume 3(4)
		The Torpedo is one of the oldest weapons in the Naval Inventory,Having been invented over 130 years ago, But at the same time it remains one of the deadliest anti-ship and anti-submarine weapon,It is far more lethal to submarines and surface ship than any other conventional weapon.
		It will arm the Type 212 submarines and is being promoted as a basis for a new "Euro" heavyweight to replace the current weapons in the French,Germany and Italian Navies,Certainly the development cost of modern Torpedo rival those of missiles.
		With SSBN it became clear that a crippled submarine must be able to launch her nuclear armed ballistic missile, and so the designers were told to investigate ways of sinking a submarine with a single shot or a total Mission Kill.

	Anti-submarine weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the time of World War II, anti-submarine weapons had been developed somewhat, but during that war, there was a renewal of all-out submarine warfare by Germany as well as widespread use of submarines by most of the other combatants.
		To counter this increasing threat torpedoes were honed to target submarines more effectively and new anti-submarine missiles and rockets were developed to give ships a longer-range anti-submarine capability.
		This, coupled with improvements to sonar systems, made ballistic missile submarines more vulnerable to attack submarines and also increased the anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capabilites of attack subs.

	Anti-Submarine weapons
		As with much of anti submarine warfare, the tools of the trade tended to evolve as technology and experience became more advanced.
		The escort basically had to be directly over the submarine and release the depth charge at such a time which would allow for it to sink towards the submarine and explode at the correct depth, hopefully within range of the intended target.
		An enemy submarine which could turn perpendicular to the escort's track and put the coals to the engines stood a good chance of evading and escaping damage.

	The helicopter as an anti-submarine weapon
		Had the submarine menace increased rather than declined in 1942, more resources might have been poured by the United States into the development of the helicopter as an anti-submarine-warfare weapon.
		The capability of the submarine to interdict trade effectively and to serve as a weapon of war was first revealed during World War I. But it was not until World War II that its offensive capabilities were truly realized.
		With the threat of the submarine all but gone, the helicopter likewise was virtually forgotten as a weapon.

	Weapon - Open Encyclopedia
		A weapon is a tool used to kill, maim, destroy or perhaps simply disable, a person or animal and as a result, also to threaten and defend.
		Less-lethal weapons use methods to attack and subdue humans that are designed to minimize the danger of killing the target.
		Aircraft weapons are designed to be carried on and used by some type of aircraft, helicopter, or other aerial vehicle.

	Submarine Weapons
		The SLMM is a self-propelled, torpedo-like weapon that travels underwater after leaving the submarine and comes to rest on the seafloor at the end of the run.
		Submarines can be highly effective in the minelaying role as they are capable of covert operations, permitting them to enter waters normally denied to surface ships or aircraft because of enemy forces, bad weather, or ice.
		The TRIDENT I (C-4) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed to replace the Poseidon missile in existing strategic missile submarines and to arm the OHIO class SSBNs.

		The weapons below all will reduce the effective ability of a submarine to remain quiet and undetected unless a mechanism is used to lower the weapon down into the hull of the submarine when submerged.
		Submarines by their nature are designed not to be detected by surface warships and tactical stratigies can be employed to make detection by hunters even tougher.
		The submarine is at 415 meters depth drops a noisemaker and makes a knuckle turn, this increases the difficulty of the homing torpedo attack to (24) which will in most cases divert the torpedo from hitting the submarine.

	Submarine operations heat up in Pacific - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		Attack submarines whose mission after the Cold War was to launch cruise missiles at land and sea targets and to gather intelligence have been assigned anew the task of fighting other submarines because the best anti-submarine weapon is another submarine.
		Where 60 percent of U.S. submarines operated in the Atlantic during the Cold War and 40 percent in the Pacific, the Navy is planning to reverse that ratio.
		The chief rivals for submarine supremacy in this region are China, which has given priority to submarines as it acquires a blue-water or deep-sea navy, and the United States, which is rebuilding submarine capabilities that had atrophied after the Cold War.

	NUCLEAR WEAPONS: TACTICAL
		The development of tactical nuclear weapons by the United States in the early 1950's was a consequence of the success of U.S. nuclear weapons designers in creating miniature nuclear explosive devices.
		However, under present conditions, using even the smallest nuclear weapon is considered a "threshhold decision" and is under the control of the highest national authorities, not local commanders, in all nuclear nations.
		The primary purpose of these weapons was to strengthen deterrence by improving the capability of NATO battlefield commanders to stop a Warsaw Pact armored thrust into Western Europe, an impossible job with conventional arms.

	Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: Dismantling the Concept Of 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'
		Thus, nuclear weapons, which have been demonstrated to be by far the most destructive of the three classes of weapons, remain legitimate within certain restrictions while biological and chemical weapons, with more limited and problematic effectiveness, have been outlawed.
		In summary, while non-use of nuclear weapons is a historical fact since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is not an internationally binding rule except as it relates to the NPT and to NWFZ treaties.
		Nuclear weapons are the "great equalizer" in that their possession diminishes the gap in military power between weak and strong nations.

	Submarines and Anti Submarine Warfare
		Submarine and antisubmarine warfare is a contest of detection systems and detection-avoidance techniques, at least as much as it is one between weapons systems and tactics.
		Occasionally used as a weapon of desperation by states with very weak navies, the submarine was no threat to major naval powers.
		The submarine is a little over a century-and-a-half old, and for the first third of its existence was little more than an experimental craft which offered a few interesting possibilities but scanty real benefits.

	The Ultimate Anti-submarine weapon Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		One of the latest anti-submarine weapons, anti-submarine missiles differ from other types of missiles in that instead of having a warhead which the missiles delivers to the target directly and explodes, they carry another anti-submarine weapon to a point of the surface where that weapon is dropped in the water to complete the attack.
		By the time of World War II, anti-submarine weapons had been developed somewhat, but during that war, there was a renewal of all-out submarine warfare by Germany as well as widespread use of submarines by most of the other combatants.
		The simplest of the anti-submarine weapons, the depth charge is a large cannister or 'bomb' filled with explosives and set to explode at a determined depth.
