It was first tried out on a conventional submarine, the Albacore, in 1954.

The navy's priority re-equipment plans for the 1990s included the receipt of new Inhaúma-class corvettes, the construction of Tupi-class submarines, the refurbishing of the Niterói-class frigates, the acquisition of nine new Super Lynx and up to six former United States Navy Sikorsky SH-3G / H Sea King helicopters, the construction of the conventional SNAC-1 submarine prototype, and the development of nuclear-propulsion technology.

The US $ 503 million program would have converted existing Trident II missiles ( presumably two missiles per submarine ) into conventional weapons, by fitting them with modified Mk4 reentry vehicles equipped with GPS for navigation update and a reentry guidance and control ( trajectory correction ) segment to perform 10 m class impact accuracy.

One approach, which made it possible to proceed with such new strategic weapon systems as the B-1 bomber, the Trident nuclear submarine, and cruise missiles, was agreement to a substantial cut in conventional forces.

* Zwaardvis class submarine ( Dutch for swordfish ), a Royal Netherlands Navy class of conventional attack submarines

That same year, he made a proposal to the Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine ( OKM – Naval High Command ) suggesting that a submarine powered by one of these engines would have considerable speed advantages over the conventional combination of diesel engine ( s ) for surface running and electric motor ( s ) while submerged.

However, Bucher was a conventional submariner not trained in nuclear power, and his career options became limited when the submarine force became increasingly populated by nuclear-powered submarines and nuclear-trained submarine officers effectively hand-picked by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover in the 1960s.

The term Militsiya in Russia and former Communist Block nations was specifically used to refer to the civilian police force, and should not be confused with the conventional western definition of militia.

Likewise, there is debate as to whether selection at the molecular level prior to gene mutations and fertilization of the zygote should be ascribed to conventional natural selection because traditionally natural selection is an environmental and exterior force that acts upon a phenotype typically after birth.

In this context, proposals to develop the army into a well equipped, mobile conventional land force, are unlikely in the near to medium term.

In early 2010, the B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress bomber force was also reassigned to AFGSC, while the B-1 Lancer bomber force remained in ACC due to the B-1's removal from the nuclear strike mission and reassignment to conventional roles only.

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.

The resulting force ruined the power station and the dam's control systems, making it impossible to gradually release water from the near-capacity dam by conventional means.

Chemical warfare is different from the use of conventional weapons or nuclear weapons because the destructive effects of chemical weapons are not primarily due to any explosive force.

It would achieve under the eyes of an international disarmament organization, a steady reduction in force, both nuclear and conventional, until it has abolished all armies and all weapons except those needed for internal order and a new United Nations Peace Force.

While conventional bunker busters utilize several methods to penetrate concrete structures, these are for the purpose of destroying the structure directly, and are generally limited in how much of a bunker, or system of bunkers they can destroy by depth and their relatively low explosive force ( versus nuclear weapons ).

As organic farming becomes a major commercial force in agriculture, it is likely to gain increasing impact on national agricultural policies and confront some of the scaling challenges faced by conventional agriculture.

Although the primary participants ' military forces never clashed directly, they expressed this conflict through military coalitions, strategic conventional force deployments, extensive aid to states deemed vulnerable, proxy wars, espionage, propaganda, a nuclear arms race, and economic and technological competitions, such as the Space Race.

Non-lethal weapons are used in combat situations to limit the escalation of conflict or where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable or where rules of engagement require minimum casualties or policy restricts the use of conventional force.

Non-lethal weapons may be used by conventional military in a range of missions across the force continuum.

This is fundamentally different from conventional ideas of a fifth force, as it grows stronger relative to gravity at longer distances.

Low insertion force ( LIF ) sockets reduce the issues of insertion and extraction but the lower the insertion force of a conventional socket, the less reliable the connection is likely to be.

It includes increased herbicide usage and resultant herbicide resistance, " super weeds ," residues on and in food crops, genetic contamination of non-GM crops which hurt organic and conventional farmers, etc.

Normally only 20 rounds and 8 missiles although as the M551s in Vietnam service were not equipped with missiles or their guidance equipment, this increased the basic load of conventional rounds.

The increased weight of conventional pressure cookers makes them unsuitable for applications in which saving weight is a priority, such as camping.

By this the intensity of the emitted synchrotron radiation was increased a hundredfold in comparison to conventional storage ring systems.

Porsche's Composite Ceramic Brakes ( PCCB ) are siliconized carbon fiber, with very high temperature capability, a 50 % weight reduction over iron discs ( therefore reducing the unsprung weight of the vehicle ), a significant reduction in dust generation, substantially increased maintenance intervals, and enhanced durability in corrosive environments over conventional iron discs.

As the decades progressed and the efficiency of the solar cells increased while the power requirements of the movement and display decreased, solar watches began to be designed to look like other conventional watches.

Coarse wavelength division multiplexing ( CWDM ) in contrast to conventional WDM and DWDM uses increased channel spacing to allow less sophisticated and thus cheaper transceiver designs.

Following the end of World War II, high-speed rail was forgotten for several years while traffic of passengers and freight steadily increased on the conventional Tōkaidō Main Line along with the reconstruction of Japanese industry and economy.

With the increasing U. S. involvement in Southeast Asia in the 1960s, the need for increased emphasis on conventional weapons development made Eglin's mission even more important.

A " Fastback 2 + 2 " model traded the conventional trunk space for increased interior volume as well as giving exterior lines similar to those of the second series of the Corvette Sting Ray and European sports cars such as the Jaguar E-Type.

This increased interest in his work prompted him to write for conventional instruments, and he composed several works for small ensembles.

The increased resolution allows the audience to be much closer to the screen ; typically all rows are within one screen height ; conventional theatre seating runs 8 to 12 screen heights.

A wing that is made deep enough to contain all these elements will have an increased frontal area, when compared to a conventional wing and fuselage, which in turn results in higher drag and thus slower speed than a conventional design.

Kinman claim their new humbuckers have greater dynamic range and increased clarity compared to conventional humbuckers.

It was the disadvantages of the rotary combine ( increased power requirements and over-pulverization of the straw by-product ) which prompted a resurgence of conventional combines in the late nineties.
