	Submarine
		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.

	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
		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).
		Where Japan had the finest submarine torpedoes of the war, the USN had perhaps the worst, the Mark 14 steam torpedo, with a Mk 6 magnetic influence exploder and a Mk 5 contact exploder, neither of which was reliable.

	History and Development of the Submarine
		Submarines have been in use for a long time, but as technology has improved, their role has changed drastically.
		Victor III was the first class of Russian submarine to be built with this new mentality, armed with torpedoes, subrocs, cruise and supersonic missiles they posed a significant threat to NATO sea power.
		Graney class submarines continue its design and are respected as some of the finest submarines in the world.

		Former Soviet submarine missile test engineer Mikhail Turetskiy, in his memoir published in Virginia in 1983, recalls accidents caused by those new factors which occurred while he was on duty at a missile test range at Severomorsk.
		The petcocks were opened, and the interior of the submarine was flooded to prevent the fire from reaching the nuclear reactor.
		On August 28, 1976, in the Mediterranean, an Echo-class submarine was involved in a surface collision with the USS Voge.

	Free Quebec Typhoon class Missile Hydrofoil
		The Porpoise class submarine is already becoming popular with their crews even though it is very cramped.
		The submarine has an incredible air recycling system that allows the crew to recycle air for six months before the atmosphere is too stale to breathe.
		The submarine is -50% to detect when traveling at less that 20 knots and is at -30% to detect when traveling at speeds greater than that.

	The AIP Alternative
		In fact, the submarine was often referred to as "HMS Exploder." The experiments were stopped when the Royal Navy also shifted to nuclear submarines.
		Russian submariners grimly called the Quebecs "cigarette lighters." AIP development was terminated in the mid-1970s, and the remaining Quebecs were scrapped.
		The company claims that its AIP option increases submarine underwater en-durance "by a factor of 3 to 5." The design of the MESMA system permits it to be retrofitted into many existing submarines simply by adding an extra hull section.

	AIR-INDEPENDENT PROPULSION — AIP Technology Creates a New Undersea Threat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Despite their initial successes, submarine pioneers were still eager to find some means to free their boats from the necessity of surfacing frequently for access to the atmospheric oxygen demanded by the gasoline or diesel engines that charged the batteries.
		More ambitious plans to build larger Walter-designed ocean-going submarines, such as the 800-ton Type XXVI and the 1,600-ton Type XVIII were thwarted by the unsuccessful course of the war and the realization that the industrial capacity needed to supply sufficient quantities of hydrogen peroxide could never be achieved.
		However, this is not to minimize the dangerous potential for AIP submarines to complicate seriously both coastal defense and assured access to littoral regions.

		purchased by Canada these were the bulk of their dwindling submarine fleet.
		They were really only kept just incase U-boats could be more advance then detection systems.
		When received they were placed in the River class of ships.

		The cog was recovered from the mud of the Weser River, and is being preserved.
		There is a replica of the Manora lighthouse, a mock-up of a Daphne class submarine's operations rooms, and a central building housing galleries and naval artifacts.
		The submarine displays the lines of an Albacore hull and a small conning tower, along with a cruciform tail similar to most current subs.
