Torpedoes are the main armament. older Diesel submarines had deck guns for surface defense and anti-aircraft, but the modern ones do not have fixed deck armament. Of course FBM submarines carry Guided Missiles.

Most WW2 Submarines carried several torpedoes, and had 4-6 forward firing tubes and 1-2 rear firing tubes. Older subs were not intended to run submerged full time the way modern subs do. There was no snorkel mast (technology taken from captured German subs at end of WW2) on most subs and they had to run on the surface to recharge their batteries for submerged operations. They also were faster on the surface than submerged. So they had surface weapons in addition to torpedo tubes. Usually a main gun, about 5 inches or so; and an anti-air gun similar to a .50 cal. The measurements would vary depending on the country as the US uses standard measurement and most other countries use metric.
