	Submarine
		Submarines are also used for marine and freshwater Science and for work at depths too great for human divers.
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.
		Submarines are popular subjects for films due to the danger, drama and claustrophobia of being on a submarine, and the suspense of the cat-and-mouse game of submarine or anti-submarine warfare.

	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Military submarines are generally divided into attack submarines, designed to operate against enemy ships, including other submarines, in a hunter-killer role, or strategic ballistic-missile submarines, designed to launch attacks on land-based targets from a position of stealth, also known as "boomers" in the United States Navy or "bombers" in the Royal Navy.
		Midget submarines were used for sabotage and espionage, especially by the Japanese and British navies; for instance five were used by Japan in its attack on Pearl Harbor.
		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).

		This class of diesel submarine was the only new design throughout the entire war.
		They were to form the backbone of the submarine service until the arrival of the highly successful modern P and O class patrol submarines that started coming into service in 1958.

	British B class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The B class was a class of eleven submarines of the Royal Navy, built by Vickers and launched in 1904–1906.
		The B class was similar in design to the A class, intended for coastal patrol work.
		The design was intended to overcome the limitations of speed, endurance and seakeeping that affected the boats of the A class, and the boats were substantially longer and heavier.

	First World War.com - Primary Documents - British Government Statement on the Execution of Captain Fryatt, August 1916
		The submarine signalled him to stop, but his British courage revolted at the thought of surrender, and the experience of German methods of warfare warned him that surrender would be no guarantee that the lives of his crew would be spared.
		Every German submarine in the war area may be assumed by a British merchant captain to be engaged in carrying out the orders of the German "Higher Command." The presence of such a submarine in the neighbourhood of a British merchant ship is an offer to strike coupled with the capacity to fulfil the threat.
		At the time that the Captain of the Brussels made his unsuccessful attempt, the submarine war was being carried on in the most brutal manner in contempt of all rules of humanity.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log-AE 1, AE 2, and J Class Submarines in The Royal Australian Navy-
		The submarine tender Platypus, had yet to arrive in Australia, meantime HMAS Encounter lent to Australia by Britain until the arrival of the cruiser Brisbane (still building in UK) was allocated to act as the Submarine seagoing tender.
		Whereas the Admiralty had estimated that the annual costs of maintaining a J Class Submarine would be of the order of 28,000 Pounds (this was the figure used by the Naval Board in planning its estimate) the actual cost to refit J3 was now estimated to be 73,500 Pounds, and for J7, 110,861 Pounds.
		The Submarines would be berthed in pairs at FND to allow their batteries to be unshipped, and for general dismantling, the hulls would then be towed onto the nearby mud.

	Captain Class Frigate - Welcome
		Those that were built were distributed between six classes mainly distinguished by their power units and various armaments, these were Evarts, Buckley, Cannon, Edsall, Rudderow and John C. Butler, but here we are only concerned with the Evarts and Buckley classes as these were the only types used by the British Navy.
		Although these vessels were to be produced mainly for anti submarine warfare the US Navy designated them as Destroyer Escorts and in addition to their Anti-Submarine weapons they were fitted with torpedo tubes on the superstructure midships, thus sticking to the Destroyer mentality.
		The British on the other hand viewed these ships as unequivocally anti submarine units, so the use of torpedo tubes did not arise, and as they were of a smaller size than a Destroyer they designated them as Frigates.

		The submarine, with two nuclear reactors, the Ministry said, lay at a depth of 107 meters (350 feet) beneath the surface.
		There are no nuclear weapons on the submarine, the Russian ministry said, and radiation levels from the submarine's two nuclear reactors, which were shut down, were said to be at normal levels.
		Russian submarine crew members are trained to swim out of the torpedo tubes, but experts said if the sailors tried to swim to the surface they would run the risk of being killed by the extreme depth and the freezing Arctic temperatures.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot - HMA Submarines
		Above HMA Submarine J2 In 1923 there was vigorous debate on the subject of whether Britain should build replacement submarines for the "J" Class or build them in Australia.
		Unfortunately, Australia's third attempt at maintaining a submarine service was terminated when armament limitations and the deepening economic depression forced the paying off of both boats at the end of 1929.
		On the fifth attempt at establishing and Australian submarine arm the decision was taken to acquire a new force of four Oberon Class submarines to be built at Scotts on the Clyde.

	Project 949 / Oscar - Russian / Soviet Nuclear Forces
		These large submarines are said to be slow to dive and maneuver, though they are credited with a submerged speed of about 30 knots - sufficient to keep pace with their targets.
		The submarine is equipped with two dozen SS-N-19 missiles with a range of 550-kilometers -- three times as many anti-ship cruise missiles as earlier Charlie and Echo II class submarines.
		Considering the importance of the Oscar II submarines for the Russian Navy, the level of confusion concerning the designations and status of the units of this class verges on the astonishing.

	Submarine Warfare - Navy Ships
		The JCS Submarine Force Structure Study, completed in November 1999, concluded that the optimal force structure would be 68 attack submarines by 2015 and 76 by 2025, with the minimum being at least 55 by 2015 and 62 by 2025.
		Submarine antennas, as compared to surface ship antennas, are unique in design, shape, materials, and performance due to a submarine’s space and weight limitations, extreme environmental conditions, and stealth considerations.
		Submarines must be capable of tailoring on-board capabilities to optimize their support for the Joint Task Force (JTF) and Naval Component Commanders.

		The fourth and final boat of the class, the Vengeance, was launched on September 19, 1998, and was commissioned on November 27, 1999, at the Marconi-Marine Shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness.
		A missile that is deployed on a U.S. SSBN may at a later date deploy on a British boat, or vice versa.
		With an additional 15 percent for spares, we estimate the total British stockpile to be approximately 185 warheads.

	Astute attack submarine
		During World War II the submarine service came into its own and since that time boats have become increasingly larger and faster and now the latest name in the long line of famous classes is Astute.
		Attack submarines originate from early studies of nuclear-powered vessels in the UK during 1946, long before other nations had considered such a propulsion system.
		Meanwhile, the study into the Batch 2 Trafalgar class submarines continued and it became apparent that further development of the Trafalgar class was the way forward.

	Russia's Super Subs Sink
		The long proud and feared Russian submarine fleet is rapidly sinking to the bottom of the Barents Sea.
		It is now nearly four years since another enormous nuclear submarine, the Oscar-II class Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea during exercises in August 2000, dooming all 118 officers and crew on board.
		Suchkov's claims and the grim continuing record of accidental submarine sinkings and losses indicate that the warships of the old Red Navy shaped by late Adm. Sergei Korshkov, for more than 30 years one of the most potent and feared military forces on the planet, now look doomed to the scrapheap.

		British Prime Minister Tony Blair, clearly keeping his temper in check, refrained from responding to the French leader, telling a press conference in Singapore: "I don't want to get tempted down that path."
