	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another Confederate submarine was lost on her maiden voyage in Lake Pontchartrain; she was found washed ashore in the 1870s and is now on display at the Louisiana State Museum.
		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.

	Royal Navy S Class Submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The requirement was for two classes of submarines, one to be a medium sized coastal type suitable for use in the North Sea and Mediterranean, this was the "S Class" and the other a long range class ("T Class").
		This new "S Class" had to be simple to build and operate, with a surface speed and endurance greater than the "H class" they were to replace, however they had to retain, or improve on, that classes excelent handling, underwater performance and diving time.
		The "S Class" is one of the models we have bought in from John Darnell of ‘Darnell Models’ of Leavesdon.

	Oscar class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Soviet Union’s Project 949 (Granit) and Project 949A (Antey) submarines are known in the West by their NATO reporting names: the Oscar-I and Oscar-II classes respectively.
		Oscars are comparable in size to the Ohio-class submarines of the United States Navy: Oscars displace less when surfaced but more when submerged, as they are shorter in length but broader in beam.
		Like other Soviet submarines, the Oscar not only has a bridge open to the elements on top of the sail but, for use in inclement weather, an enclosed bridge forward of this station in the sail.

	Chinese Defence Today - Project 636 Kilo Class Diesel-Electric Submarine
		All four Kilo class submarines are deployed in the submarine base of the East Sea Fleet at Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province near the Taiwan Strait.
		With a reserve buoyancy of 32%, the submarines consists of six watertight compartments separated by transverse bulkhead in a pressured double hull, which increases the survivability of the submarine, even with one compartment and adjacent ballast tanks flooded.
		To reduce the submarine’s acoustic signature, the flooding ports are removed from the forebody, and the hull is covered with rubber anti-sonar protection tiles to reduced the risk of detection.

	Project 949 / Oscar - Russian / Soviet Nuclear Forces
		These large submarines are said to be slow to dive and maneuver, though they are credited with a submerged speed of about 30 knots - sufficient to keep pace with their targets.
		The submarine is equipped with two dozen SS-N-19 missiles with a range of 550-kilometers -- three times as many anti-ship cruise missiles as earlier Charlie and Echo II class submarines.
		Considering the importance of the Oscar II submarines for the Russian Navy, the level of confusion concerning the designations and status of the units of this class verges on the astonishing.

	Upholder class submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.
		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.
		Acceptance of the class into service was delayed for three years while such problems were corrected.

	WW II Fleet Class Submarine
		Until the advent of the nuclear submarines all U.S. submarines were really surface craft that had the ability to submerge for limited periods of time.
		Since this relatively cool water surrounds the exterior of the submarine, this temperature is conducted to the interior, resulting in cold interior surface.
		Inasmuch as the submarine is so dependent on the batteries it should be self evident that extreme care and attention is devoted to the batteries.

	Royal Navy U Class Submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The "U Class" were originally ordered by the Royal Navy in 1936 as 3 unarmed training ships, however with war looming a further 49 units were ordered as single hull coastal submarines.
		These boats had a shallow maximum diving depth of just 200ft and were not really suitable for use in the mediterranean (where quite a few were lost) owing to the clearness of the waters where they could be seen submerged on a fine day by spotter aircraft.
		The "U Class" is one of the models we have bought in from John Darnell of ‘Darnell Models’ of Leavesdon.
