Modern naval ships use some form of Sonar to detect submarines. Additionally, some ships are equipped with Magnetic Anomaly Detectors (MAD gear) that detect a submarine's impact on the Earth's magnetic field in that area. The gear is typically carried aboard helicopters temporarily stationed on the ship.

Why is water a good medium for communication between dolphins?

Sound waves travel very well in water. Warships, including submarines, use passive sonar to listen for enemy ships and submarines. Passive sonar employes underwater hydrophones to listen for sounds. They can detect sounds of ships and submarines miles away. Marine mamals such as whales and dolphins detect sound in much the same way.

What was used in WW1 to detect submarines?

During World War I, several methods were employed to detect submarines, including hydrophones (underwater microphones) and sonar technology, which were still in their early stages of development. Ships also used depth charges and patrolling aircraft to locate and attack submarines. Additionally, the use of smoke screens and listening devices on ships helped in identifying submarine positions. These technological advancements marked the beginning of more sophisticated anti-submarine warfare strategies.


What instrument was used during World War 1 to detect the sound of submarines?

During World War I, the primary instrument used to detect the sound of submarines was the hydrophone. This underwater listening device allowed ships to detect the noises made by submarines, such as engine sounds and propeller movements. Hydrophones were often deployed in arrays and played a crucial role in anti-submarine warfare, helping to locate and track enemy submarines.
