	HyperWar: Current Doctrine, Submarines [Chapter 1]
		In battle, submarines initially unfavorably situated and not able to attain a favorable attack position, should be disposed in position to attack the enemy battle line upon reversal of the action, or to sink damaged enemy vessels left astern.
		Individual submarines, in order to be able to deliver their submerged attacks with full effect, must be so disposed as to permit freedom of movement within their own disposition and with minimum interference from own surface forces.
		In advancing submarines on the surface during daylight, complete control of the air over them must be maintained in order to deny knowledge of their presence to the enemy and to prevent enemy planes from forcing them down, thus reducing speed of advance.

	[No title]
		Submarines have been a major element in naval warfare since the First World War, where the German submarine U-9 sank three British cruisers in one day.
		These air-independent submarines are lethal vessels, which have more endurance than regular diesel-electric submarines, while also not having to deal with the cost and expense of a nuclear power plant.
		However, coastal submarines cannot operate very far from their coastal waters, and this takes 22 of the EUs submarines out of play when it comes to long distance operations.

	100th Anniversary Submarine Service - USS Barracuda SS 163 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In January of 1933, Barracuda was assigned to SubDiv12, and, until late in 1936, operated along the west coast and cruised to Pearl Harbor and the Panama Canal Zone with the Fleet.
		Barracuda arrived at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 16 February 1945; was decommissioned on 3 March 1945; and sold to a scrapper on 16 November 1945.
		The submarine force soon came to view this boat as a white elephant and most operators were not sorry to see Barracuda placed out of commission in 1937.

		Submarine Division 20 was formed at San Diego in the mid-1920s to provide a “home” for the new V-class submarines commissioned during that period.
		These notional “fleet” submarines would necessarily be larger and better armed, but primarily, they would need a surface speed of some 21 knots to be able to maneuver with the battleships and cruisers of the line.
		All three boats were overhauled in Philadelphia between late 1942 and early 1943 and converted to cargo submarines by removing both torpedo tubes and main engines, thereby leaving them solely dependent on their diesel generators for propulsion.

	U.S. Submarines
		Through their mostly deliberate hunt not only for Japanese merchants, which was not unique to them, of course, US submarine skippers took oil tankers as their preferred targets, and assured through this that the Imperial Japanese Fleet always lacked an important part or the other: oil in Japan, and ammunition in the East Indies.
		Following this class shortly was the first class of "fleet submarines", designed as large vessels with high endurance and speed to support the battlefleet.
		The next class, the T-class, was already the prototype for the Gato/Balao class, and these two classes, barely distuinguishable after the refits, would be the primary tools of the US submarine force to destroy the Japanese merchant navy.

	Global Submarines
		Bulgaria’s one operational submarine, a Romeo-class SS, is working under operational restrictions because of the paucity of the navy’s maintenance programme.
		The strength of the Indian programme is underscored by the continued operational status of the Shishumar and Sindhughosh (Kilo) classes and plans for extending the service life of the Foxtrot-class Type 641s, although recent reports suggest this latter development may not be sanctioned.
		The Collins-class submarines of the Royal Australian Navy continue to have a difficult technological history, complicating the desire for a platform programme around which to base a prospective TLAM fleet.

		I could have sworn I heard the klaxon sound as the submarine dove, swiftly disappearing beneath the water's surface, instantly a distant memory, perhaps even a mirage, with just a bit of foam left as a testament to what had been there a moment before.
		First of all, because every submarine model in the museum is built to the same scale, you can get an accurate picture of how they've evolved, in both size and shape.
		Not only will you learn about submarines and torpedoes, but you'll come away with a better understanding of what our country has gone through to get where it is today, and what was sacrificed in the process.

	Sierra Class - Project 945
		The new Sierra-class submarines were intended to be the primary Soviet attack submarine, incorporating a variety of new sensors, silencing equipment, command systems and countermeasures.
		The Sierra-I class had six major compartments: (1) the torpedo room, and battery, (2) crew quarters, officers mess and galley, (3) command center, computer complex, and diesel generators, (4) reactor, (5) main switchboard, pumps and geared turbines, (6) electric motors, steering gear and pumps.
		The chronology in Russia's (USSR) Arms Catalog evidently is partially derived from that of Bellona, which is suspect because of the discrepancy between the apparent "as of" date of the document and the reported dates of the chronology.
