•A submarine (or simply sub) is a watercraftft capable of
independent operation underwater.
•It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater
capability.
•The term most commonly refers to a large, crewed vessel.
•submarines are usually referred to as "boats" rather than as
"ships", regardless of their size (boat is usually reserved for
seagoing vessels of relatively small size).
•Although experimental submarines had been built before,
submarine design took off during the 19th century, and they were
adopted by several navies.
•Submarines were first widely used during World War I (1914–
1918), and now figure in many navies large and small.
•According to a report in Opusculum Taisnieri published in 1562.
Two Greeks submerged and surfaced in the river Tagus near the City
of Toledo several times in the presence of The Holy Roman Emperor
Charles V, without getting wet and with the flame they carried in their
hands still alight.
•18th century
•ther he ever carried out his idea
•The first submarine not relying on human power for propulsion was the
French Plongeur (Diver), launched in 1863, which used compressed air at
180 psi (1241 kPa).
•20th century
•submarines were not put into service for any widespread or routine use
by navies until the early 1900s. This era marked a pivotal time in
submarine development, and several important technologies appeared. A
number of nations built and used submarines. Diesel electric propulsion
became the dominant power system and equipment such as the periscope
became standardized. Countries conducted many experiments on effective
tactics and weapons for submarines
Military (Main articles: Attack submarine, Ballistic missile submarine, Cruise missile
submarine, and Nuclear submarine)
•Before and during World War II, the primary role of the submarine was anti-surface ship
warfare
• They were particularly effective in sinking Allied transatlantic shipping in both World
Wars, and in disrupting Japanese supply routes and naval operations in the Pacific in
World War II.
•The development of submarine-launched ballistic missile and submarine-
launched cruise missiles gave submarines a substantial and long-ranged ability to attack
both land and sea targets with a variety of weapons ranging from cluster
bombs to nuclear weapons.
•Civilian
•The Submarine Voyage ride opened at Disneyland in 1959, but although it ran under
water it was not a true submarine,
•A recent development is the deployment of so-called narco submarines by South
American drug smugglers to evade law enforcement detectionas it ran on tracks and was
open to the atmosphere.

•Overview
Submersion and trimming
•All surface ships, as well as surfaced submarines, are in a
positively buoyant condition, weighing less than the volume of water
they would displace if fully submerged.
•To submerge hydrostatically, a ship must have negative buoyancy,
either by increasing its own weight or decreasing its displacement of
water.
•To control their displacement, submarines have ballast tanks, which can
hold varying amounts of water and air.
•The hydrostatic effect of variable ballast tanks is not the only way to
control the submarine underwater. Hydrodynamic maneuvering is done
by several surfaces,
•The hydrostatic effect of variable ballast tanks is not the only way to
control the submarine underwater. Hydrodynamic maneuvering is done
by several surfaces,
•when a submarine performs an emergency surfacing, all depth and
trim methods are used simultaneously, together with propelling the
boat upwards.
Hull
Main article: Submarine hull
•Pressure hull
•The pressure hull is generally constructed of thick high-strength steel with a
complex structure and high strength reserve, and is separated with
watertight bulkheads into several compartments.
•Building a pressure hull is difficult, as it must withstand pressures at its
required diving depth.
•When the hull is perfectly round in cross-section, the pressure is evenly
distributed, and causes only hull compression.
• If the shape is not perfect, the hull is bent, with several points heavily
strained.
•Single and double hulls
• The Soviet Union changed its designs, basing them on German developments.
All post–World War II heavy Soviet and Russian submarines are built with
a double hull structure
Communication
Main article: Communication with submarines
•Military submarines use several systems to communicate with distant command centers
or other ships.
•One is VLF (Very Low Frequency) radio, which can reach a submarine either on the surface
or submerged to a fairly shallow depth, usually less than 250 feet (76 m). ELF (Extremely
Low Frequency) can reach a submarine at greater depths, but has a very low bandwidth
and is generally used to call a submerged sub to a shallower depth where VLF signals can
reach.
•Civilian submarines can use similar, albeit less powerful systems to communicate with
support ships or other submersibles in the area.
•To communicate with other submarines, a system known as Gertrude is used. Gertrude is
basically a sonar telephone.
•By extending a radio mast, a submarine can also use a "burst transmission" technique.
Sensors
Main article: Sonar
•A submarine can have a variety of sensors, depending on its missions.
• Modern military submarines rely almost entirely on a suite of passive and
active sonars to locate targets.
•Active sonar relies on an audible "ping" to generate echoes to reveal objects around the
submarine.
• Active systems are rarely used, as doing so reveals the sub's presence. Passive sonar is a
set of sensitive hydrophones set into the hull or trailed in a towed array, normally trailing
several hundred feet behind the sub.
•The towed array is the mainstay of NATO submarine detection systems, as it reduces the
flow noise heard by operators.
•Hull mounted sonar is employed in addition to the towed array, as the towed array can't
work in shallow depth and during maneuvering.
• In addition, sonar has a blind spot "through" the submarine, so a system on both the
front and back works to eliminate that problem.
•The human eye cannot detect sunlight below about 300 feet (91 m) underwater, so high
intensity lights are used to illuminate the viewing area.
Nuclear power
Main articles: Nuclear submarine and Nuclear marine propulsion
•Steam power was resurrected in the 1950s with a nuclear-powered steam turbine driving
a generator.
•By eliminating the need for atmospheric oxygen, the time that a submarine could remain
submerged was limited only by its food stores, as breathing air was recycled and fresh
water distilled from seawater.
•More importantly, a nuclear submarine has unlimited range at top speed.
• Nuclear-powered submarines have a relatively small battery and diesel engine/generator
powerplant for emergency use if the reactors must be shut down.
•Most fleets have no nuclear submarines, due to the limited availability of nuclear power
and submarine technology.
• A conventional submarine operating on batteries is almost completely silent, the only
noise coming from the shaft bearings, propeller, and flow noise around the hull, all of
which stops when the sub hovers in mid-water to listen, leaving only the noise from crew
activity.
Diesel-electric
•Further information: Diesel-electric transmission
•Early submarines used a direct mechanical connection between the engine and propeller,
switching between diesel engines for surface running, and battery-driven electric motors
for submerged propulsion.
•Other advantages of such an arrangement were that a submarine could travel slowly with
the engines at full power to recharge the batteries quickly, reducing time on the surface or
on snorkel. It was then possible to isolate the noisy diesel engines from the pressure hull,
making the submarine quieter. Additionally, diesel-electric transmissions were more
compact.
•The submarine's diesel drove a generator that could either charge the submarine's
batteries or drive the electric motor.
• This made electric motor speed independent of diesel engine speed, so the diesel could
run at an optimum and non-critical speed.
Life support systems
•With nuclear power or air-independent propulsion, submarines can remain submerged
for months at a time.
•Conventional diesel submarines must periodically resurface or run on snorkel to recharge
their batteries.
•Most modern military submarines generate breathing oxygen by electrolysis of water
(using a device called an "Elektrolytic Oxygen Generator").
• A machine that uses a catalyst to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide (removed
by the CO2 scrubber) and bonds hydrogeN produced from the ship's storage battery with
oxygen in the atmosphere to produce water, is also used.
•An atmosphere monitoring system samples the air from different areas of the ship
for nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, R-12 and R-114 refrigerants, carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and other gases.
• Poisonous gases are removed, and oxygen is replenished by use of an oxygen bank
located in a main ballast tank.
•Trash on modern large submarines is usually disposed of using a tube called a Trash
Disposal Unit (TDU), where it is compacted into a galvanized steel can. At the bottom of
the TDU is a large ball valve.
•Fresh water is produced by either an evaporator or a reverse osmosis unit. The primary
use for fresh water is to provide feedwater for the reactor and steam propulsion plants.
• It is also available for showers, sinks, cooking and cleaning once propulsion plant needs
have been met.
