 Anti Submarine Warfare - MIT research
The navy assigned a broad range of missions to submarines, which required a large number of submarine types and was among the decisive factors that shaped the Russian design school.
The second factor that promoted the improvement of tactical and technical elements of the first postwar submarines was further development of active and passive sonars of surface ships and their arming with depth-charge launchers, which made submarine hunters more effective and deadly, enabling them to attack at a great distance.
As SSN submarines had advantages over diesel-electric analogs (high submerged endurance, high speed enabling them to avoid contact with enemy vessels, and long range), the development of new ballistic-missile diesel-electric submarines was stopped as inexpedient.

Thus none of the submarine crews of the force which made patrols during that conflict, some of which were longer and as arduous as World War II patrols were able to earn war patrol pins.

When RC operating the submarine, the trim of the piston tanks is left unaffected and the depth of the boat is only controlled by blowing or emptying the MBT's and by using the dive planes once the boat is submerged.
