	Submarine Hunting
		Such “hunter-killer” submarines are, of course, at a disadvantage when compared to airborne platforms in regards to speed, and when compared to ships they frequently also have not only much slower maximal speeds, but also shorter detection ranges.
		But, as submarines usually move at a much slower speeds than warships in order to remain quiet, the warship is in a better position to execute a manoeuvre of this kind and also find the submarine — the possible position of which is marked by a red circle on this drawing.
		Submarine hunting is a very complex operation and requires a large number of assets with a very quick reaction time.

	Tambor class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Submarine operations with the fleet required boats each with a large cruising radius and a relatively high speed so that they could intercept and stay with their prey.
		One key to the "T" class' success was the development of a compact diesel engine designed in concert with the American railroad industry, which enthusiastically embraced the benefits of diesel-powered locomotives (and was delighted by the Navy's willingness to fund the huge research and development costs associated with their creation).
		These two classes of submarines shouldered the bulk of the combat duties during the early stages of the war, with the USS Tautog holding the scoring record in the category of "number of ships sunk" by any U.S. submarine.

	Submarine - free-definition
		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by American David Bushnell that accommodated a single man. During the American Revolutionary War, the Turtle attempted and failed to sink a British warship, the HMS Eagle in New York harbor on September 7, 1776.
		In 2000, a Russian Oscar II-class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in the forward torpedo room caused a spontaneous detonation of the warhead.
		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.

	OBERON class submarine
		The final member of this class, HMS ONYX, was the only conventional submarine to see service in the Falkland's War of 1982, where she was used for special operations in and around the islands.
		Two unidentified OBERON class subs lie alongside; this is a good study in contrast, as the outside sub has recieved the new Triton sonar, while the inside (background) sub has not.
		The attack periscope is in the foreground, with the main periscope in the background.

	Submarine History 1945-2000: A Timeline of Development
		However, erection of the launching ramp and preparation of the missile kept the submarine on the surface for five minutes; therefore, a hand-off control system was developed, whereby another submarine, 80 miles downrange, could take over for the last 55 miles of missile flight.
		At 447 feet and 5,963 tons, "Triton" was the largest U. submarine to date, but by the time she was in commission, in 1959, advances in airborne detection systems had rendered her intended mission unnecessary.
		The first submarine to utilize the potential of both the nuclear powerplant and the high-speed "Albacore" hull was "Skipjack" — officially rated at 29 knots, submerged.

	SSN-586 Triton
		This was USS Triton (SSRN-586), which at 448 feet long and nearly 6,000 tons surface displacement, emerged as the longest U.S. submarine ever built until the appearance of the USS Ohio (SSBN-726) class in the early 1980s.
		Triton joined 2nd Fleet in August 1960, and soon thereafter, she deployed to European waters to assume her role as a radar picket in a series of NATO exercises.
		Thus, in March 1961, Triton was reclassified as an attack submarine (SSN) and overhauled at Portsmouth between 1962 and 1964 to refuel her reactors and convert her for a new role.

	Royal Navy T Class Submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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 ocean going type, this was the "T Class".
		To make the class worthwhile the Royal Navy’s main requirement was for a submarine displacing about 1,000 tons, fairly heavily armed, and with a patrol duration of at least 42 days.
		The "T Class" is one of the models we have bought in from John Darnell of ‘Darnell Models’ of Leavesdon.

		HMS TURBULENT was a Triton Class Submarine launched on 12 May 1941 by Vickers Armstrong Ltd at Barrow in Furness.
		She displaced 1090 tons and was armed with one 4-inch quick firing gun and eleven 21-inch torpedo tubes of which 5 were external to the pressure hull and could not be reloaded at sea.
		The submarine joined the fleet on 3rd January 1942 and lived up to her name with a series of daring patrols in the Mediterranean during which she sank 52,000 tons of enemy shipping during 1942, and a further 14,000 tons in the first 6 weeks of 1943.

	USN Ship Naming
		Ships armed with 40 guns or more were of the "first class"; those carrying fewer than 40, but more than 20, guns were of the "second class." The name source for the second class was expanded to include the principal towns as well as rivers.
		Submarines were renamed in 1911, however, and carried alpha- numeric names such as A-1, C-1, H-3, L-7, and the like until 1931, when "fish and denizens of the deep" once more became their name source.
		Submarine tenders, for instance, are "mother ships" to submarine squadrons and bear the names of submarine pioneers (Simon Lake, Hunley, Holland).

		In origination, the design and performance of the Astute Class closely relates to that of the earlier Trafalgar Batch 1, but updated tactical weapon systems and the enlarged hull required to accommodate the newer Rolls Royce Pressurised Water Reactor 2 (PWR2) which was originally developed for the Vanguard Class submarines.
