How many nuclear submarines does Britain have today?
The Royal Navy Operates 6 Trafalgar class submarines and 1 Astute class. These submarines are called 'attack' or 'hunter-killer' submarines and have roles such as land attack using Tomahawk cruise missiles and anti-surface and anti-submarine roles using the Spearfish torpedo. They can also carry out surveillance and reconnaissanse. The Royal Navy also has 4 Vanguard class submarines. These submarines are ballistic missile submarines. These submarines are responsible for the UK's nuclear detterent and use the Trident missile system. There is always at least one of these boats at sea at any given time.
Was Germany the only country to use U-boats during World War 2?
The US and Japan were the other primary submarine users of that period, so no, Germans weren't the only ones using submarines during WW2.
Why did the US enter world war?
Germany asked Mexico to ally with them in a telegraph that was intercepted by America. America was furious. when Germany began sinking ships with American passengers using their newly developed submarines, called u-boats, president Woodrow Wilson asked congress to go to war
Why did the US enter World War I?
Germany asked Mexico to ally with them in a telegraph that was intercepted by America. America was furious. when Germany began sinking ships with American passengers using their newly developed submarines, called u-boats, president Woodrow Wilson asked congress to go to war
What made US join in WW1?
Several factors. The primary reason was Germany's use of submarines to attack ships in the Atlantic Ocean. After a British cruise ship, the Lusitania, was sunk in 1915 by a German sub and many Americans were killed, Germany agreed to stop using submarines so much. But as the war dragged on and Britain's huge navy was making it so Germany couldn't get supplies from other countries, Germany decided they needed to start up again.But Germany knew that the US would be angry about the submarines, so just before they restarted it, they tried to send a secret message to the Mexican government asking Mexico to fight a war against the US so the US couldn't fight Germany. British spies were able to catch the message and showed it to the US government. Right afterward, Germany restarted their submarine program. So the US was double angry at Germany and declared war shortly thereafter.
What is the use of submarines today?
Depends on what class of Submarine you are talking about. Balistic Submarines are a nuclear deturent that assures retaliation in the event of a country using nuclear weapons against one another. Attack Submarines have grown a lot since WWII. They are now capable of conducting Anti-Surface Warfare, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Land Attack Strikes, Harbor Mining, Speacial Forces Insurcian & Extraction, & Intelligance Gathering. Scientific Research Submarines are used for Biological Research, Search and Recovery of Shipwrecks.
How are World War two and World War I the same?
World War I and World War II are different wars. Many effects of World War I led to World War II, but they were separate, independent wars. The wars were similar in that they both involved France, Russia, Britain and the Commonwealth countries, and the United States, fighting against Germany. There were also strategic similarities between the wars, for instance, Germany, in both wars, relied mainly on U-boats (submarines) to attack the merchant ships of the western allies, rather than using her surface fleet to any great extent.
Why didn't Canada use submarines in the battle of the Atlantic?
The role of submarines during the second world war was primarily the destruction of enemy commerce, and occasionally heavy naval units such as battleships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. Since the battle of the atlantic was fought primarily against German Submarines which were targeting Allied merchant vessels, there would have been very little point to using submarines.
What is the maximum range of detection for submarines using sonar at different decibel levels?
The maximum range of detection for submarines using sonar varies depending on the decibel level. Higher decibel levels can detect submarines at greater distances compared to lower decibel levels.
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.
Whose submarines sank thousands of tons of British supplies by 1940?
Germany's U-boats sank many tons of shipping bound for Britain from America. They enjoyed a lot of success, until the Allies began using the convoy system for escorting ships across the Atlantic, and began using Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) techniques, as well as aircraft, against the U-boat threat. By the end of WWII, the tide had turned significantly; Germany lost 70% of her submarines as a result of action in the Atlantic.
Who owned the u-boats that were sunk in WW1?
This question appears to be about U-Boats or submarines. In WW 1, the Germans had a large submarine fleet that terrorized Atlantic Ocean shipping. For a time, Germany announced that all ships were potential targets. This is one of the several reasons the United States entered WW 1. There were Allied defenses against U-Boats and using various explosives a good number of Germany's submarines were sunk.
