Do you drive or stear a submarine?
Submarines have a rudder like most surface ships.
What is the difference between a normal ship and a submarine?
Normal ships are designed to move on the surface of the water. Submarines are designed to be able to submerge and travel under the water's surface, as well as on the surface. When normal ships go down, they stay down. Submarines are able to come back up after they go down. All American submarines are nuclear powered. With the exception of Aircraft carriers, surface ships are powered conventially.
Why do ships float while submarines sink?
Submarines are designed with enough ballast and control systems to allow them to submerge and surface as needed.Surface ships are designed only with enough ballast and control systems to keep them on the surface. While they can sink just as well as submarines can, their ability to re-surface without a salvage operation is non-existent.
History of torpedomans mate?
Torpedoman's mate was a United States Navy occupational rating for an enlisted naval serviceman whose main duties are the handling, preparation, and maintenance of torpedoes and other underwater ordnance, that are launched from submarines, surface ships and aircraft. This position was disestablished on October 1, 2007 and torpedo men of surface ships were given the gunner's mate rating and those on submarines were given the machinist's mate rating.
What weapons were used by submarines in World War 1?
Torpedoes were the main weapon. The submarines also had a naval gun that they would use on unarmed ships and many had machine gun mounts as well.
Compare submarines and ships?
Ships try to avoid sinking, submarines sink on purpose...
Examples of nuclear energy in the military?
Reactors power submarines and many surface ships. Nuclear weapons.
What is a naval projection of power?
Naval projection of power refers to a country's ability to extend its influence and force through its navy beyond its own borders to protect its interests, conduct military operations, or provide humanitarian assistance. This can involve deploying naval assets such as aircraft carriers, submarines, and surface ships to project strength and deter potential adversaries.
What do ships use to detect submarines?
Modern naval ships use some form of Sonar to detect submarines. Additionally, some ships are equipped with Magnetic Anomaly Detectors (MAD gear) that detect a submarine's impact on the Earth's magnetic field in that area. The gear is typically carried aboard helicopters temporarily stationed on the ship.
How can nuclear submarines travel underwater?
Just like diesel submarines travel underwater, but for much longer periods as the nuclear engine does not consume the oxygen in the air. The older diesel submarines were limited to running on batteries or using a schnorkel to get air for the engines when underwater, so usually they traveled on the surface like regular ships only submerging to prepare for an attack with torpedoes on passing enemy ships. The nuclear submarines can practically travel underwater forever, until they need to be resupplied with food for the crew.
