	Submarine - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Submarines continued to be improved, and were again used during the American Civil War (1861-1865).
		The Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was built in 1862 to aid the South in breaking the Union Navy's blockade of its ports during the Civil War.
		The submarines used for these scientific expeditions are specially suited for Arctic missions, and provided a rare opportunity for scientists to explore and map the Arctic Ocean floor, measure ice thickness, and collect water samples.

	(1902 - 1910) A, B and C Class
		This, the submarine A1, although based on the Holland Class was of all British design (Capt Bacon, Inspecting Captain of Submarines, and Vickers, Sons and Maxim).
		The B and C Classes were almost identical, being larger versions of the A Class, with petrol engines for surface propulsion and batteries for propulsion when submerged.
		The first submarine to carry a boat appears to have been C1, which had a 10t berthon boat - a practice that was adopted for the remainder of the class.

		The submarine on patrol will be at a reduced alert state and will carry out a range of secondary tasks; its missiles will be detargeted, and after notice the SSBN will be capable of firing its missiles within several days rather than within several minutes, as during the cold war.
		The fourth and final submarine of the class, Vengeance, was launched on September 19, 1998 and commissioned on November 27, 1999 at the Marconi-Marine Shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness.
		British SLBMs are thought to carry a variation of the U.S. W76 warhead designed for Trident I C4 and Trident II D5, enclosed in a U.S. Mk-4 reentry vehicle.

	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.

	Submarine Technology thru the Years
		The Confederate Submarine H.L. Hunley is credited with the first recorded successful underwater attack, against the USS Housatonic using a torpedo, which was projected from the submarine by a pole.
		Coastal and harbor defense was one of the earliest missions of the submarine force.
		As a result, these submarines were overloaded with the addition of key elements required for wartime sailing-chariot bridge, torpedo room ventilation, oscillator, and gyrocompass.

	Submarine History 1945-2000: A Timeline of Development
		Submarine commanders, already too cautious, were cautioned not to waste their precious ammunition.
		Allied aircraft were responsible for (or directly involved in) the loss of 433; surface ships, 252; mines, 34; accidents 45, submarines 25 (only one of which happened when both hunter and victim were submerged); unknown, 15, scuttled by their own crews, 14; interned in neutral ports, 2; sunk by shore battery, 1.
		However, erection of the launching ramp and preparation of the missile kept the submarine on the surface for five minutes; therefore, a hand-off control system was developed, whereby another submarine, 80 miles downrange, could take over for the last 55 miles of missile flight.

	Submarine Centennial Chronology
		The importance of submarine operations in the Pacific, Caribbean, and the South Atlantic leads the Navy Department to install the first submarine air-conditioning system on board USS Cuttlefish (SS-171), in spite of space constraints.
		Submarines are spared during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, making the submarine force indispensable.
		It was to the Submarine force that I looked to carry the load until our great industrial activity could produce the weapons we so sorely needed to carry the war to the enemy.

	Submarine USS V-2 (SF-5) /
		The submarine arrived at the City of Brotherly Love on 18 February 1937, where she went out of commission in reserve on 9 June 1937...then was placed in the Reserve Fleet for possible future use.
		Actually, the submarine was scuttled (sunk) in 155 feet of water eight miles south of Block Island, Rhode Island, in the Atlantic Ocean, for use as a sonar target.
		The submarine was heavy forward, and, this, in conjunction with the odd shape of the pressure hull, caused the bow to burrow into waves instead of riding over them.

	British C class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British C class submarines were the last class of petrol engine submarines of the Royal Navy and marked the end of the development of the Holland-class in the Royal Navy.
		The technique was for a trawler to tow the submarine and communicate with it by telephone.
		The surviving boats were disposed of at the end of the war with the exception of HMS C4 which was retained for trials until she was scrapped in 1922.

		The submarine, the weapon that had proven itself most useful in the war on commerce, had now sealed the fate of Germany by swinging the Great Neutral to the allied cause.
		The Imperial Chancellor's and the Foreign Office's apprehensions that by waging ruthless submarine warfare we would cause America, the Nordic States and also Rumania to declare war against us and their belief that this must be avoided still provide opposition to the plans of the Navy.

	Submarine History 1870-1914: A Timeline of Development
		British doctrine held that submarines were limited to harbor operations; of course, but the people who wrote the doctrine had not been paying attention.
		It was an acknowledgment that submarines would spend most of their lives on the surface and needed sea-keeping qualities not found in a streamlined "underwater" hull.
		A month after that, U-18 penetrated the British fleet anchorage at Scapa Flow; although she did no direct damage and was captured, the effect upon the British Navy was electric: this one small boat forced the most powerful battle fleet in the world to shift to a base on the other side of Scotland.

	WWI
		They believed that the submarine was only a plaything, something for the younger officers to sharpen their teeth on, but otherwise diverting time and money from other more useful and dependable branches of the service.
		Nevertheless, U.S. submarines contributed to the war effort performing and carrying out a variety of special operations for which 58 submarine officers and 3 enlisted men would be awarded the Navy Cross for meritorious action beyond the call of duty involving great risk.
		These eight submarines of the O-class, however, arrived to late to the war zone. This division of submarines, with the submarine tender SAVANNAH, had left Newport, Rhode Island, on 2 November 1918, and before reaching the Azores, the Armistice was signed.

		Submarine: A Guided Tour of a Nuclear Warship, first published in 1993 but recently updated, is the lead book in a seven-volume non-fiction series which examines many of the weapons systems and/or units that appear in Tom Clancy's fiction.
		Written with the assistance of defense analyst John D. Gresham, Submarine is an interesting look at one of the most fascinating yet least seen warships in the United States Navy, the Improved Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine.
		This book was an excellent introduction to a range of topics: the role of submarines in the Navy, the various types of submarines out there, a little bit about the weapons systems and sonar equipment, and most importantly for me, a glimpse of life aboard a submarine.

	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 Virginia-class submarines are estimated to have a unit cost of $2.1 billion, but found a way to get the first six built for a total cost of $8.7 billion ($1.45 billion each).
		The submarine is slower than the American submarines (28 knots compared to the 35+ of the Los Angeles and Seawolf-classes).
		British SSN commanders have much more tactical training than their American counterparts (mostly due to what some consider an overconcentration on engineering caused by the influence of Hyman G. Rickover).

	C17
		This submarine was the first submarine built for the navy by the Royal Dockyard at Chatham.
		She had a larger bridge than the earlier boats of the class, apparrently this was not too effective in keeping out the elements.
		She was also involved in a collision with C16 on the night of the sinking of C11 of the coast of Norfolk, near Cromer in 1909.

	Sub Chasers (SC)
		Although not aware of the full extent of U-boat successes until the spring of 1917, the United States knew from British experiences that, in addition to destroyers, many small vessels were required to locate, keep down, and sink enemy submarines.
		Although the sinking of only one submarine was verified, they were effective in helping to curb the U-boat menace along the east coast and in the Caribbean.
		The submarine of this period was capable of only limited submerged cruising at low speed, and the extensive patrolling by SC's and other ships and aircraft forced U-boats to spend much more of their patrol time beneath the surface, thus exhausting their batteries and reducing their effectiveness.

		But the Dardanelles Strait was 64 kilometres long, had currents reaching 4 knots for the submarines to push against, was narrow and posed difficult navigational hazards, and was carefully guarded with forts and gun-boats, floating and fixed minefields, and nets.
		Amongst those British E-class submarines that subsequently entered the Sea of Marmara and sank many Turkish and German naval craft were the E11 commanded by Martin Dunbar-Nasmith and the E14 commanded by E.C. Boyle.
		Her exposure to the surface was ill timed, and after a dangerous series of yo-yo ascents and descents beyond her tested depth of 100 feet (30 metres), a Turkish gun-boat, the Sultanhisar, was waiting for them to surface again.

		Only one British submarine will patrol at any given time, and that boat will carry a reduced load of 48 warheads, half the number the Conservative government had previously planned.
		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.
		With an additional 15 percent for spares, we estimate the total British stockpile to be approximately 185 warheads.

	Submarine Search and Rescue(SMERLO)(ISMERLO)
		One of the important issues to arise after the KURSK tragedy, underlined by other peacetime submarine disasters, was the need for an international liaison service to coordinate rescue efforts in case of further submarine disasters and make those accidents less likely to occur.
		The Submarine Escape Training Tank was built in 1954, after a review of submarine incidents showed that many submariners were not well equipped or trained for escaping from submarines.
		The disabled submarine was stuck at 600 feet, and time was a crucial factor in rescuing the crew.

	Submarine AE2, Harry Stoker Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot
		After the formation of the Royal Australian Navy, initial plans for Australian submarines were for three British "C" Class boats but only two of the improved "E" Class were authorised.
		By 1914 he was an experienced submariner and was chosen to command AE2, one of the two new submarines built at Barrow-in-Furness for the new Royal Australian Navy.
		Despite the fact that the submarines of this era had never managed to sail more than 200 miles without breaking down, the intrepid Stoker and his mixed crew of Australian and English ratings, in company with the other Australian submarine, AE1, set sail for Australia on 2 March 1914.

		While technologically advanced at the time, the Dreadnaught-class lacked in sublight and hyperspace speeds (a Class 4 rating), suffered computer failures, and could not compete with comparable designs in terms of firepower and shielding.
		The Dreadnaught-class might be named after the British pre-WWI battleship HMS Dreadnought, which was the first true battleship to have a uniform main battery, rather than having a secondary battery of similar sized guns.
		In its day, it sparked quite a revolution in terms of battleship-design and all subsequent battleships would be called "dreadnoughts" as they followed her "all-big gun" design.
