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.
