What do we know about submarines

[hungover part 2]

I am not sure if a thread like this exist but I would like to know more about submarines as the details are pretty vague.

Any details would be well appreciated

A submarine is a watercraft 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, autonomous vessel. It is also sometimes used historically or colloquially to refer to remotely operated vehicles and robots, as well as medium-sized or smaller vessels, such as the midget submarine and the wet sub.

Used as an adjective in phrases such as submarine cable, "submarine" means "under the sea". The noun submarine evolved as a shortened form of submarine boat (and is often further shortened to sub).^[1] For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as "boats" rather than as "ships", regardless of their 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 large navies. Military usage includes attacking enemy surface ships or submarines, aircraft carrier protection, blockade running, ballistic missile submarines as part of a nuclear strike force, reconnaissance, conventional land attack (for example using a cruise missile), and covert insertion of special forces. Civilian uses for submarines include marine science, salvage, exploration and facility inspection/maintenance. Submarines can also be modified to perform more specialized functions such as search-and-rescue missions or undersea cable repair. Submarines are also used in tourism, and for undersea archaeology.

Most large submarines consist of a cylindrical body with hemispherical (and/or conical) ends and a vertical structure, usually located amidships, which houses communications and sensing devices as well as periscopes. In modern submarines, this structure is the "sail" in American usage, and "fin" in European usage. A "conning tower" was a feature of earlier designs: a separate pressure hull above the main body of the boat that allowed the use of shorter periscopes. There is a propeller (or pump jet) at the rear, and various hydrodynamic control fins as well as ballast tanks. Smaller, deep diving and specialty submarines may deviate significantly from this traditional layout.

Submarines have one of the widest ranges of types and capabilities of any vessel. They range from small autonomous examples and one or two-person vessels that operate for a few hours, to vessels that can remain submerged for six months—such as the Russian Typhoon class, the biggest submarines ever built. Submarines can work at greater depths than are survivable or practical for human divers.^[2] Modern deep-diving submarines derive from the bathyscaphe, which in turn evolved from the diving bell.

Serious Question: How do you expect us to know more than you?

Epic.

We know nothing but the following

• It exists
• it's yellow
• it fits more than one person
• you can be launched out of it from inside of it
• it's only for underwater travel
• it's usually wet

[The GTA Guy]

that they go underwater

 

It's a start.

 

Yeah, we don't know anything about them, aside of what they look. We'll find out in about a week..

[iNero]

I hope everyone knows why its yellow.

Link to source, please? I don't recall reading about this, and that would be friggin awesome!

[sanpreet]

why do they go underwater

[Flyerstarter]

I'm pretty sure that there is a controllable robot attached to the underside of the sub, maybe for searching smaller areas on a wreck?

 

Have a look at the images of the sub that we have so far. I may be totally wrong.

 

P.S You can tell some morons are going mad bro crazy whilst waiting for this game, lots of unhelpful replies.

[brucie_suckyou]

I think i read somewhere that its first person view while in the sub.

 

I remember reading that a long time ago maybe in the game informer article?
