Triton Submarines, a Florida based company that designs and manufactures private submarines, for which a crew of three will take 120 minutes to reach the seabed ;

Submarines have one of the largest ranges of capabilities in any vessel, ranging from small autonomous examples to one-or two-person vessels operating for a few hours, to vessels which can remain submerged for 6 months such as the Russian Typhoon class-the biggest submarines ever built and in use.

* US Navy Photos & Documentary film produced by Nick T. Spark, " Regulus: The First Nuclear Missile Submarines " which aired initially on the History Channel in Europe.

* Submarines S16, S21 and S25 are the Science Patrol's short-range, high crush-depth underwater submarines, all of which are airlifted by the Jet VTOL to lakes or other bodies of water one at a time.

Submarines receive the signal using some form of towed antenna which floats just under the surface of the water – for example a BCAA ( Buoyant Cable Array Antenna ).

U-boat movements were controlled by the Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote ( BdU ; English translation: " Commander of Submarines ") much more closely than American submarines, which were given tremendous independence once on patrol.

He was given the Distinguished Service Order ( DSO ) on 6 January 1942 for, " For daring, skill and determination while escorting to this country a valuable Convoy in the face of relentless attacks from the Enemy, during which three of their Submarines were sunk and two aircraft destroyed by our forces ".

In February 1943, following the death of the COMSUBPAC, Rear Admiral Robert Henry English, in a plane crash in California, Lockwood was transferred to Pearl Harbor to become Commander, Submarines, Pacific Fleet ( COMSUBPAC ), in which capacity he served the rest of the war, being promoted to vice admiral in October 1943.

“ Goose Creek ” A tributary of the Cooper River was the site of a U. S. Navy submarine base through the late 90 ’ s and functioned as a nuclear weapons handling facility servicing FBM ( Fleet Ballistic Submarines ) until the advent of the larger Trident Class which required a deeper draft.

Deluca's plan was to begin a “ fast-food venture that provided a healthier, less fattening bill of fare .” On the radio advertisement they had promoted the name as " Pete's Submarines ", which sounded like Pizza Marine, so they changed the name to " Pete's Subway ".

In August 1944, he was transferred to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief of Submarines ( Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote or BdU ), Hans-Georg von Friedeburg, during which tenure he was promoted to Fregattenkapitän on 1 October 1944.

Inspired by a successful Point Pleasant, New Jersey, operation called Mike's Submarines ( which later became Jersey Mike's Subs ), the three friends speculated that a similar restaurant would do well in Hoboken.

* June 1943-the " May Incident " in which Congressman Andrew Jackson May disclosed that Japanese depth charges were set too shallow-and resulted in the estimated losses of 10 US Submarines and 800 servicemen.

Submarines were more effective, and aircraft had become important weapons of naval warfare ; once again the fleet destroyers were ill-equipped for combating these new targets.

Submarines traditionally had two periscopes ; a navigation or observation periscope and a targeting, or commander's, periscope.

Submarines built here had the most perfectly round hulls ever produced ( Thresher Class ) because of the largest steel rollers used in the construction of the pressure hulls using HY-80 steel.

Submarines can also be modified to perform more specialized functions such as search-and-rescue missions or undersea cable repair.

Alternatively, at the initiative of Flag Officer Submarines ( FOSM ), a nuclear warhead might be fitted to the unguided, shallow-running and short-ranged, but reliable Mark VIII torpedo.

Flag Officer Submarines minuted that the proposal to arm the Mark VIII with the WE. 177A warhead would, despite the torpedo's performance shortcomings, be " much superior to any present British submarine weapon ..." However, the short range of the Mark VIII put the firing submarine within damage range of the nuclear warhead of its torpedo.

Tactical Nukes can only be moved by land and Nuclear Submarines.

Submarines may also be used for reconnaissance and landing of special forces as well as deterrence.

If the junior officer passes his Qualification Board, the Commanding Officer recommends to the Squadron Commodore ( a post-command officer ) that the junior officer be Qualified in Submarines.

Submarines can often be seen in the waters between Applecross Peninsula and Raasay.

Submarines are dimly lit to preserve the night vision of the crew members working there, but the control room must be lit to allow crew members to read instrument panels.

Submarines were least vulnerable but were also least accurate and communication could be poor at times.

Submarines were first widely used during World War I ( 1914 – 1918 ) and now figure in many large navies.

He was then transferred to the U-boat arm, where he served as commander of I. Unterseebootsflottille, and during World War I served as Führer der Unterseeboote (" Commander of Submarines ") until 4 June 1917, and as such was promoted to Fregattenkapitän on 16 April 1915.

" What made the occasion all the more remarkable was the presence on board of his second son, Prince Albert, who was to become King George VI, Winston Churchill, ( First Lord of the Admiralty and future WWII Prime Minister ), and of then Captain Roger Keyes, Inspecting Captain of Submarines, who was to become the first Director of Combined Operations ( the Commandos ) in the early part of WWII.

During World War I, he served on the Board of Devices and Plans connected with Submarines in Warfare, the Board of Standardization of Submarines, and the staff of Admiral William S. Sims, who commanded all U. S. naval forces in European waters.

Submarines of the Ohio -, Los Angeles -, Seawolf-and Virginia-class submarines were also constructed by Electric Boat.

ComSubGru 8's operational functions were accomplished through four Task Forces: CTF 64, CTF 69 ( attack submarines ), NATO's CTF 442, or deployed SSBNs and CTF 439, the operational title for Commander Submarines Allied Naval Forces South — the rear admiral's NATO hat.

Submarines were critical in the Pacific Ocean as well as in the Atlantic Ocean.

As they were developed for SSBNs, the reactors are considerably larger than those of current British Fleet Submarines.

The cars were nicknamed " Red Devils " or " Submarines ".

When informed of Miers ' actions, Flag Officer Submarines Admiral Horton wrote to the Admiralty about the possibility of German reprisals: " As far as I am aware, the enemy has not made a habit of firing on personnel in the water or on rafts even when such personnel were members of the fighting services ; since the incidents referred to in Torbay's report, he may feel justified in doing so.

Submarines were also equipped with fire control computers for the same reasons, but their problem was even more pronounced ; in a typical " shot ", the torpedo would take one to two minutes to reach its target.

Submarines of the Asiatic Fleet were also assigned to the effort.
