	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear powered submarines and other large submarines are classed as ships, but are customarily referred to by their crews as "boats".
		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.

		Plunger departed Gravesend Bay, N.Y. 15 April 1937 for shakedown cruise to Guantanamo Bay, the Canal Zone, and Guayaquil, Ecuador.
		In October, as U.S. forces pushed on to Matanikau and Cape Esperance, Plunger departed Pearl Harbor on the 12th to reconnoiter the area and to block the “Tokyo Express.” However, Plunger hit an uncharted reef 2 November, destroying her sound gear and damaging her bottom.
		After repairing at Brisbane, Plunger returned to the Guadalcanal area for her fourth war patrol and operated off Munda, where Japanese barges were coming in at night, unloading troops and supplies, and departing by day-break.

	The Invention Of The Submarine
		The little submarine had a folding sail to propel it on the surface, and was powered by a hand-cranked propeller underwater.
		The Confederates raised her, but not long afterwards, the submarine was moored to a steamer that got underway unexpectedly, turning the vessel over and sending her to the bottom.
		While the outline of early submarine development is clear, it is also clear that there are gaps, misinformation, and even a certain amount of outright lying in the records, and the exact details should be taken with a bit of skepticism.
