	Collins class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collins Class submarines are a class of submarine built in Australia for the Royal Australian Navy.
		The characteristics and range of Collins Class submarines have been tailored specifically for its defence and two-ocean surveillance role in the Navy.
		Designed to be as quiet as possible, Collins class submarines have been developed from five generations of submarines designed and built by the Swedish Navy.

	Upholder class submarine
		The Upholder-class submarines were diesel-electric hunter-killer (SSK) submarines designed in the late 1970s to supplement the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine force.
		It was highly automated to reduce manning, and the weapon-discharge system that controlled the operations of the torpedo tubes could, under certain conditions, open the torpedo tube slide valve while the rear door was open.
		During sea trials of the lead ship[?] of the class, it was noticed that an emergency reversal ("crash back") would generate currents of more than 60,000 amps, which resulted in catastrophic and spectacular complete loss of propulsion.

	SSN-688 Los Angeles-class
		Submarines of the LOS ANGELES Class are among the most advanced undersea vessels of their type in the world.
		Submarines are able to get on station quickly, stay for an extended period of time and carry out a variety of missions including the deployment of special forces, minelaying, and precision strike land attack.
		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.

	Naval Technology - SSGN Oscar II Class (Project 949.A); (Kursk) - Cruise Missile Submarine
		The submarine is fitted with a floating antenna buoy to receive radio messages, target designation data and satellite navigation signals at a great depth and under the ice.
		These large submarines are said to be slow to dive and manoeuvre, though they are credited with a submerged speed of about 30 knots — sufficient to keep pace with their targets.
		The missiles, which are launched while the submarine is submerged, are fired from tubes fixed at an angle of approximately 40°.

		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.

		The submarine is based on the 1950s-era Soviet Romeo class with certain modifications.
		However, the submarine provides a relatively low-cost solution for coastal defence, patrol and surveillance duties, while combat missions in deep oceans are taken by the more capable Type 039 and Kilo class.
		Despite the accident the submarine seemed to be still serviceable and was towed to an unidentified naval base for further investigations.

	Astute class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the Swiftsure-class submarines aged, the Royal Navy began to design their replacements.
		Original plans were for seven boats of the Astute class to replace five Swiftsure-class submarines (Sovereign, Superb, Sceptre, Spartan, and Splendid) and the two oldest Trafalgar-class boats (Trafalgar and Turbulent).
		The Astute class is expected to be built roughly one-fifth more quickly than earlier boats, with lower running costs and a much smaller ship’s company.

	OBERON class submarine
		These submarines were very quiet for their day, and stayed in service with various Navies past the year 2000.
		The final member of this class, HMS ONYX, was the only conventional submarine to see service in the Falkland's War of 1982, where she was used for special operations in and around the islands.
		Two unidentified OBERON class subs lie alongside; this is a good study in contrast, as the outside sub has recieved the new Triton sonar, while the inside (background) sub has not.

	HMAS AE2: Australia's Gallipoli submarine
		E14 was the first of a number of submarines that were to follow AE2 into the Sea of Marmara and effectively close it to Turkish shipping bound for the battlefields of the Gallipoli Peninsula.
		Although none of the submarine’s complement were lost in the sinking, four were to die in captivity.
		Some sources claim that AE2’s signal announcing her penetration of the Dardanelles convinced the Commander in Chief not to order the re-embarkation of the troops that had gone ashore at Gallipoli on 25 April, but there is no real evidence to support this claim.

		China's nuclear submarine programme can trace its origin back to the late 1950s, but the first boat (pennant number 401) was not completed until 1974.
		The Type 091 are reportedly capable of firing the submarine-launched variant of the YJ-8 (C-801) from its 533mm torpedo tubes.

	SSN-688 Los Angeles-class - Navy Ships
		SSN 688 class submarines, which will comprise 68% of the attack submarine force in 2015, must be modernized to ensure that they remain effective when operating against increasingly sophisticated undersea adversaries.
		Between 1998 and 2001 the US will retire 11 Los Angeles class submarines that have an average of 13 years left on their 30-year service lives.
		The 18 SSN-688 class submarines that will be refueled at their mid-life could make good candidates for a service life extension because they could operate for nearly 30 years after the refueling.

	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.
