	Submarine - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		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).
