	Submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		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.

	NTI: Country Overviews: United States: Profile
		As one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the United States maintains a sizeable arsenal of nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads, of which nearly 6,000 are operational and the remainder in reserve or inactive stockpiles.
		The United States ratified the Geneva Protocol in 1975, with the reservation that the treaty not apply to defoliants and riot control agents such as were used in Vietnam and Laos during the Vietnam War.
		Currently, the United States has what is believed to be the world's second largest stockpile of chemical weapons, including bombs, rockets, and artillery shells that are loaded with lewisite, mustard, sarin, soman, VX, or binary nerve agents.

		The VIRGINIA class submarine is the epitome of capability, agility and flexibility.
		Submarines have been directly responsible for several recent seizures of large shipments of drugs in amounts large enough to affect the economics and organization of the drug world.
		Summary The Submarine Force should continue to be utilized forward, as scouts "walking the field." Day-in and day-out, they need to be conducting Phase Zero operations, grasping for ground truth and shaping the environment to avert the next conflict or should it occur, be ready to engage quickly and decisively.

	SSBN-726 Ohio-Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine SSBN - United States Nuclear Forces
		The ten Trident submarines in the Atlantic fleet were initially equipped with the D-5 Trident II missile.
		Like all submarines in use by the U.S. Navy today, the Ohio class submarine is powered by a pressurized water reactor (PWR) driving steam turbines to a single propeller shaft.
		SSBN 726 Class Submarine shipboard equipment which requires significant maintenance during the planned operating cycle, industrial level maintenance, which is beyond the capability of Ship's Force, and which cannot be accomplished during the refit period (without unacceptable impact on other refit requirements), is supported by TRIDENT Planned Equipment Repair (TRIPER) program.

		WWI taught us that the submarine is a potent offensive force, from which we adapted our designs to the introduction of the improved "Fleet Boats" in the 1930s.
		Submarine technical superiority and innovation were vital to those victories.
		Not only are our submarines actively engaged in the Global War on Terrorism, they are also poised to provide the combat power and tactical advantages against potential adversaries, ranging from transnational threats to potential peer competitors, today and in the future.

	Submarine: Officer: Careers & Jobs: Navy
		Submarine Officers have the immense task of ensuring that all systems run smoothly, from atmosphere control and nuclear propulsion systems to fire control and weapons systems.
		Submarines, their Officers, and their crews are heavily relied upon for antisubmarine warfare, antisurface warfare, land attack, strategic deterrence, and landing Special Warfare forces, to name but a few of the many exciting missions.
		During a sea tour, Submarine Officers may be in charge of any number of tasks, including the safe operation of the nuclear reactor; maintaining the ship’s torpedoes, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and sonar; charting the ship’s position; and operating communications and intelligence equipment.

		Submarines of the United States Navy are built in classes, using a single design for a number of boats.
		Occasionally, a class will consist of a single ship as a protoype, or for experimental use; an example is USS Albacore (AGSS-569), which used an unprecedented hull design.
		The Tullibee was a prototype "hunter-killer" submarine, she was built to test the new bow sonar and amidships torpedo room configuration that is now standard for US submarines.

	N.G.R. Type 1200 Submarine
		The Type 1200 class submarine appears to be the most numerous class of submarines constructed by the New German Republic.
		The only submarine class to carry names within the New German Republic is the Poseidon class and the Type 1200 class does not carry individual names although it is believed that some crews have named their vessels.
		The submarine is -50% to detect when traveling at less that 15 knots and is at -30% to detect when traveling at speeds greater than that.

	THE WORLD WAR 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.

	NTI: Submarine Proliferation
		The first strategic submarines (submarines capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction, or WMD, against shore-based targets) emerged in the mid-1950s, when the United States mounted Regulus cruise missiles and the Soviet Union (somewhat later) deployed short-range ballistic missiles on diesel submarines.
		The lack of international export control guidelines pertaining to submarines poses the risk that additional countries may move WMD to sea (either to conventionally powered or nuclear-powered boats), thus increasing the likelihood of regional arms races and the emergence of serious new threats to land-based targets and local populations.
		Country profiles will eventually be developed for all states with major submarine holdings (whether strategic or not) or with significant submarine export activities, due to the site's focus on patterns in international submarine transfers and their regional security implications.

	Vanguard - United Kingdom Nuclear Forces
		The Vanguard Class submarines are larger than the Resolution Class mainly because of the need to accommodate the Trident D5 missile.
		In December 2006, the government modified this statement by stating that each submarine carried "a maximum of 48 warheads" The 1998 SDR declared that less than 200 warheads were operationally available for the four SSBNs.
		This statement was modified in December 2006, when the government stated that the number would be reduced to "less than 160." The government has not disclosed the size of its total stockpile, and the statements from 1998 and 2006 imply that additional warheads are stored in a reserve.

	Submarines in the Cold War
		Far-reaching changes in hull design, electronic sensors, power plants, and weapons transformed the World War II submarine, a surface craft that could submerge briefly underwater, into the Cold War submarine, a fast, long-range underwater boat that rarely needed to surface at all.
		They were complemented by fast attack submarines, which kept close tabs on enemy submarines, ready to strike at the first sign of a hostile launch.
		Although the United States ceased building diesel-electric submarines in favor of nuclear-powered boats, diesel-electrics continued in service throughout their useful lives—for some, into the 1980s.
