What is cruise missile?
A cruise missle is a long-ranged tactical guided missle launched from an aircraft, ship, submarine, or land-base launch platform. They are extemley fast and accurate, and are used for precision strikes on military intallations such as command bunkers or air bases. A cruise missile is not very fast (subsonic) compared with rocket-propelled missiles which do not need wings, but fly on their own forward momentum. A cruise missile is jet-propelled which gives it a much longer range, but it needs small wings to stay in the air because of its lower thrust-weight ratio. The German V-1 of 1944 was the first cruise missile, just as the V-2 was the first ballistic missile. In the 1950's, the US Navy launched V-1s (called Loons) from submarines, but the sub had to proceed to the launch point on the surface. Later, a watertight storage cylinder allowed the sub to proceed to the launch point while submerged, but it still had to surface to launch its Regulus cruise missile. These subs were diesel-electric, and although the nuclear-powered USS Halibut carried Regulus missiles in an internal hangar, it still had to surface to launch them. Today, a USN cruise missile submarine carries multiple Tomahawk cruise missiles in individual launch tubes, but it still must surface to launch them because a cruise missile is an air-breather, unlike ballistic missiles which can be launched from submarines while underwater. [Note: this is incorrect. Cruise missiles can be launched from underwater - they are simply shot out of their tube by compressed air or a small rocket motor. Once they reach the surface, their jet turbine engine is then activated.] Several countries use cruise missiles, but the USN Tomahawk is the best known. The USAF had its own cruise missile in the 70's, using the B-52 bomber or 747 airliner as a launch platform. Improved technology allows a cruise missile to stay closer to the ground (or water) than the old Nazi V-1, which makes them more difficult to counter. The V-1 could be shot down by fighters or anti-aircraft fire. Their accuracy has also improved. The V-1 simply flew to its approximate target whereupon the motor shut off and it dropped like a bomb; hence the name flying bomb, but a Tomahawk can hit its target with great precision. A cruise missile can be thought of as a kamikaze plane without a pilot. It flies to its target like an airplane and then blows up.
What is the max depth of nuclear submarine?
Television will tell you the figure (History & Military Channels) but those are the numbers that the military gives them. The actual max depth is classified. Same with aircraft speeds & altitudes. We'll tell you what you "WANT TO HEAR." But it won't be the real thing.
What gives sun its energy?
nuclear fission
How does a submarine float?
It floats and sink by changing its buoyancy. The primary method of controling buoyancy is the ballast tanks. The air is let out of them and is displaced by water. This gives the submarine negative buoyancy, which will get the submarine to submerge. By blowing or pumping air into those ballast tanks, the submarine becomes buoyant and rises to the surface.

How do you get the ticket for the submerine on cyprints island in poptropica?
You rematch the dart guy and he gives you a submarine ticket.
Is nuclear fuel safe to use?
yes... nuclear fuel actually gives off less radiation than average nuclear plants.
What gives a star light?
supernova supernova
An element that gives off nuclear radiation?
Radium is an example
An element that gives off nuclear radiation is said to be?
Radioactive
What happens within a star that gives it energy?
Nuclear fusion does.
What is the name of the metal that creates nuclear energy?
Hydrogen gives off radiation, but uranium is more known for it's nuclear radioactivity due to its use in nuclear reactors.
