		Submarines are also used for marine and freshwater science and for work at depths too great for human divers.
		Submarines are useful to a military because they can approach their attack victim without necessarily being detected, then strike at close range.
		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.

		The submarine received a major modernisation refit between 1995 and 2001 to be fitted with the new improved JL-1A SLBM.
		With only a single Type 092 missile submarine, it is not possible for the PLA to establish an effective underwater nuclear strike capability, which requires no less than three submarines to guarantee that at least one of them is ready to launch at any time.
		The submarine may be fitted with a multi-purpose combat data and command system which provides information for submarine control and torpedo firing.

		The diesel-powered craft, Navy Submarine No. 361, was involved in an exercise when the accident occurred, and "because of a mechanical malfunction, the 70 crew members on board died," the news report said.
		The accident is the worst reported submarine accident since the August 2000 sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk that killed all 118 men aboard.
		Now submarines have begun to conduct joint exercises with air power and surface ships, although the military is in the early stages of experimentation with joint operations.

		Military submarines There are probably more military submarines in operation that any other type of submarine, though it is difficult to obtain exact figures because navies are secretive about their submarine fleets.
		History of military submarines Though the first submersible vehicles were tools for exploring under water, it did not take long for inventors to recognize their military potential.
		The first military submarines to see effective use were the U-boats of Germany, first introduced in World War I. The innovation that made the U-boats practical war machines was the their use of diesel.

		The pressurised hull was made of HY80 steel, and the submarine had a maximum diving depth of 400 meters.[621] The submarine sank during a diving test on April 10, 1963, and all the crew were lost.
		The Permit class of attack submarines was followed by the Sturgeon class, which also used the S5W reactor.[623] The noise from these submarines was reduced in comparison to the Permit-submarines, but its top speed was only about 25 knots.
		The submarine was torn into two pieces, and there are speculations that the accident may have been caused by the explosion on board of one of the torpedoes.

		While this class boat greatly improved the Chinese Navy's distant defense capabilities against enemy nuclear equipped surface forces, one of its most significant features was that it served as a stepping stone in the development of a Chinese nuclear powered, submarine launched ballistic missile (SSBN) force.
		The Xia class SSBN was initially armed with 12 JL-1 (CSS-N-3) SLBMs.
		It is generally agreed that the single unit of this class entered the shipyard in 1995.

		The submarine was spotted several weeks ago for the first time and has been designated by the Pentagon as the first Yuan-class of submarine.
		One official said the new submarine was a "technical surprise" to U.S. intelligence, which was unaware that Beijing was building a new non-nuclear powered attack submarine.
		Fisher said the Chinese submarine buildup should prompt the Pentagon to step up U.S. anti-submarine warfare capabilities, which he said are "at an historic low" because of cutbacks in specialized ships and aircraft.
