Most fast-attack submarines rely on several anti-ship / anti-submarine weapons, but the most common U.S. weapons are:
Mk. 48 ADCAP Torpedo (surface ship and submarine)
Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile (TASM) (surface ship)
Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile (surface ship)
Mk. 60 CAPTOR Mines (submarines)
U.S. submarines also carry the land-attack version (conventional, multi-purpose or nuclear) versions of the Tomahawk (TLAM, TLAM-N).

Ships try to avoid sinking, submarines sink on purpose...
Why was the battle of Atlantic a turning point?
American and Canadian ships transporting supplies to the united kingdom and the soviet union encountered German U-boats (submarines) and other ships which would affect the delivery of the supplies (including food, weapons and ammunition). British planes and other vessels would protect the delivering ships by spotting out U-boats or any other Allied use of transporation that would try and stop the crossing of the Atlantic for delivering ships. This helped reduce the amount of U-boats used and then when the Treaty o Versailles was introduced the U-boat campaigne was concealed.
What are the special features of this battleship?
The Trireme implemented a metal band around the hull and below the water line to stop the ramming tips of enemy ships. This band was made out of lead, a common metal in the ancient world because of its ease of use and availability. The Trireme also used a metal point, or ram on the front on the ship. It would try to sail (and row) full speed into preferably the side of an enemy ship and sink them. Sometimes, archers or range siege weapons would be used on the top deck of the boat as seen in Alexander the great's conquest. Mostly, however, the ships would try to sink the enemy or board them with foot soldiers.
How European ships were used in acts of war in the 1400's?
the way Europeans used ships in acts of war they equipped cannons on their ships and gave every one a musket or a hand gun and they used the boats for transportation and if they encountered the enemy they used the canons to try to sink the other ship
Where were the German navy during Normandy invasion?
Most large ships of the German Navy had been sunk or disabled by June 1944. The vessels which did try to intercept the Normandy invasion were mainly submarines, including some midget submarines. By this time however, the Allies had air superiority and had mainly solved the problem of detecting and destroying German U-Boats. Some ships were lost or damaged by torpedo or mine but not enough to cause problems for the Allies.

What weapons do military ships have?
If you're referring to warships as opposed to support vessels (tenders, oilers, rescue vessels, e.g.) it varies by class and type, but in general there are several basic weapon types for the different platforms, their distinct types governed by the ship's mission and class. 1. Offensive Weapons - Most ships, save for carriers and smaller vessels, have torpedoes and missiles as their primary offensive weapons. Few ships today have mounted cannons since surface vessels typically work together with other ships and aircraft. Only submarines regularly work alone - though DD's and CG's can and often do work alone, they are typically in constant contact with support aircraft and other surface vessels, where submarines are truly on their own. Missiles can include anti-air (Sea Sparrow), anti-ship (Harpoon, Tomahawk), and land attack cruise missiles (Tomahawk), as well as anti-submarine conventional and nuclear depth charges (ASROC). Ballistic Missiles - Only Ballistic Missile submarines carry offensive nuclear ballistic missiles. Ships and Attack submarines can carry nukes, but they're cruise missiles. Mines - All ships and submarines have mine-laying capability, as do aircraft. The type of mine deployed of course depends on the threat and location. The Navy's new LCS class ships are multi-mission functional, and are designed to also perform mine-sweeping operations. Carriers - Fixed and Rotary-wing aircraft are the primary weapons systems for CV's (any plane / helo is considered to be a weapons platform, as are ships, submarines, etc., as well as a weapon in itself). 2. Defensive - Large vessels like carriers depend primarily on their aircraft and escort vessels to defend them, but they do have an impressive array of defensive weapons as well. All ships carry the Phalanx CIWS anti-missile defense system (Close-In Weapons System) which is a 20mm radar controlled gatling gun with an unbelievable rate of fire and accuracy. It can shoot down an incoming missile or aircraft in range. Though originally designed for incoming missile defense, it has been upgraded with FLIR to defend against surface targets in littoral (coastal) waters (in other words, terrorists in small boats with bombs at night). If you Google it, you can find some really cool test videos of the Phalanx in action. Another variant called SeaRAM, being tested for use aboard the Indepence-class LCS's, is an upgrade that is designed to provide longer range defense against more modern, supersonic surface skimming missiles. There is also a land based variant called C-RAM (Centurion), being used in Iraq for incoming short range missiles/rockets and artillery. It's currently being evaluated/tested by the Israelis, but they have their own system. In addition to Phalanx, many ships have surface-air missiles to defend against incoming aircraft and missile threats (e.g., RIM-7 Sea Sparrow), though as I said, since most ships operate as part of a group, they typically rely on aircraft support. But they do have these types of weapons in case air support isn't readily available, or enemy weapons get past the outer defense perimeter. Countermeasures - most ships do have acoustic countermeasures to try and deal with incoming torpedoes, but in reality if a homing torpedo has a lock on the vessel, it's history. Small Arms - all ships have small-arms to defend against boarders or other unauthorized personnel. Carriers have their own detachment of Marines to provide ship security, and other large vessels also use Marines for onboard security when necessary. Most ship crews are small arms trained though and provide security for their own vessels.
What is the code to level 3 on Pedro and Ordep's Space Adventure on Boys life?
Not sure about the Level 3 code, but you can enter "super" for special weapons. Or try "ship2" or "ship3" to start with better ships.
