Do submarines have 4 torpedoes?
No - most modern submarines, depending on type, have between 15 and 25 torpedoes aboard.
Did submarines have torpedoes in world war 1?
Yes, before cruise missiles came about, submarines were armed solely with torpedoes and, more common in WW2, deck guns.
What weapons were use by submarines?
One weapon that was used by submarines were torpedoes. Torpedoes were like big rockets, but they didn't explode. They were like huge wrecking balls that were fired a huge velocity, and were normally used to wreck ships.Back then, in the cold war, the Americans stored four torpedoes in a submarine now called the Growler, which you can see at the intrepid sea air and space museum today. However, back then, if they wanted to fire these torpedoes, they would have to surface, wheel the torpedo out, load it, and fire it. This process would take about fifteen minutes.Luckily, today, scientists have found a way to waterproof these torpedoes.Ans 2 - Submarines have used torpedoes from underwater since WW1 . Many subs in WW1 and WW2 also had deck guns, sometimes a naval cannon for use against ships and often heavy machine guns as protection from aircraft.Modern submarines commonly carry cruise missiles or ICBM's as well as torpedoes. Torpedoes have evolved from the simple ones in WW2 that had a range of about 3 miles to a whole variety of torpedoes that can go for up to 40 miles and loiter or speed as required. Most modern torpedoes are shot from 21 inch tubes, but there are 16" torpedoes used by many European navies for shallow water.
How did airplanes destroy submarines?
Airplanes dropped depth charges and specialised torpedoes
What is torpedoes used for?
Torpedoes are used by military ships to destroy other ships. They are usually used by submarines and they can have guidance systems (Usually wire-guided).
What is an shot from a submarine called?
A shot fired from a submarine is commonly referred to as a "torpedo launch." Torpedoes are self-propelled weapons designed to travel underwater and strike targets, typically ships or submarines. Submarines can also launch missiles, but these are categorized separately from torpedoes.
What is fired from submarines?
Weapons launched (fired) from submarines include torpedoes, ballistic missiles, or cruise missiles. These are the primary weapons, and a few other options exist.
Who used torpedoes?
During WW1, German U-boats (submarines) used torpedoes to sink boats and ships belonging to the Allies or any vessel aiding the Allies war cause.
What are fired from submarines?
Submarines can launch a variety of munitions, primarily torpedoes and missiles. Torpedoes are underwater weapons designed to target ships and submarines, while missiles, such as cruise missiles, can be used for land strikes or targeting other ships. Submarines may also deploy naval mines as a means of area denial or to disrupt enemy naval operations. Each type of weapon is designed to be launched from a specific system onboard the submarine.
Can submarines fire torpedoes while on the surface?
Absolutely; it makes no difference whether or not a boat is submerged or not, as the torpedoes are water-impulse ejected out of the torpedo tube before engine start, and the tubes are literally about 20' below the waterline of a boat you see surfaced. Fully 3'4 of any surfaced boat is below the waterline that you don't see.
Something you shoot start with t?
You shoot at a Target. You shoot with a Thompson(brand name of a gun). Submarines shoot Torpedoes.
