What is A self-propelled missile that is launched usually from a ship or submarine?
A self-propelled missile launched from a ship or submarine is commonly referred to as a cruise missile. These missiles are designed to travel at a steady speed and altitude, allowing for precision targeting of ground or sea-based targets. They typically utilize guidance systems such as GPS or inertial navigation to navigate to their intended destination. Examples include the Tomahawk missile, widely used by the U.S. Navy.

What is a submarine?
In the American submarine force their are two types of missiles: 1. Tomahawk® Land Attack Missile (TLAM) 2. Sea-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warhead is what is deployed on a SLBM. The TLAM can carry a conventional warhead or a single nuclear warhead.
What is a nuclear missile base?
An installation (usually a group of several underground silos) from which rockets bearing nuclear warheads under their nosecones can be launched.
What is a self propelled missile usually launched by a ship or submarine?
The answer to this multiple-choice question was a torpedo. The reason that the question specifies "usually" is that ASW aircraft can launch torpedoes.(The word missile in military usage always means self-propelled weapons.)The ASROC is a rocket-boosted torpedo, and many other types of missiles are launched from ships and submarines, including cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk. Trident (FBM) submarines can launch strategic ICBMs.*All submarine weapons are actually ejected from the vessel prior to its activation: torpedoes are ejected by water impulse, as are SUBROC, Harpoon, and Tomahawk missiles. Their motors start once they've cleared a certain range from the vessel. Ballistic missiles are ejected by air impulse - launch is near the surface, and the missile is ejected into a pocket of air or steam where the rocket motor ignites.
How is a submarine raised?
Usually by inflating bags that have been placed inside the submarine.
What is a submarine used for?
A submarine is used as a subsurface naval weapons platform, or as a tool of exploration and recreation. The latter may be manned or robotic, and have a wide range of characteristics and applications. They are usually operated from or with direct reliance on a support vessel of some kind. We've seen them carrying investigators to the deepest oceans, or surveying shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea. The former are usually sophisticated naval vessels capable of great range and extended independent operation. They can carry torpedoes to sink other vessels, or guided missiles to be launched at distant targets to deliver nuclear payloads. The newer munitions include cruise missiles which can be launched from the submarine, or anti-ship missiles which can also be launched from below the surface. Certainly there are a number of instances of "spooks" working with the submarine service in a number of espionage or "black ops" projects. It could be the insertion of a SEAL team, or the gathering of intelligence in various ways.

Is a submarine larger than a submersible?
In general, yes, a submarine is larger than a submersible. A submersible is usually considered to be a small craft operated from a support vessel.
How many people does it take to operate a submarine 1000sq. used to drill oil?
Modern research submarines can usually carry two, three or four. There are anywhere from about 100 people on a U.S. Navy attack submarine to over 200 on one of our fleet ballistic missile boats. And some of the small early WWII boats had crews of something on the order of 60 or so. The Japanese used 2-man subs at Pearl Harbor. Bottom line: the number of crew required to operate a submarine varies with the type of boat. Need a link? You got it.
What is a booomerang?
A flat, curved, usually wooden missile configured so that when hurled it returns to the thrower.
Can submarines shoot down aircraft?
Not anymore. In both world wars submarines were equipped with anti-aircraft weapons for defending themselves while surfaced, but they made the subs slower while submerged, and enemy aircraft usually stayed out of their range while calling in a destroyer by radio. After World War 2 submarines became streamlined to improve their speed, and their AA guns were removed. The prevailing school of thought is that a submarine has a better chance of survival underwater than trying to fight on the surface. The British Navy experimented with a missile launched from submarines to shoot down aircraft, but even still the aircraft holds most of the advantages, and the submarine is probably more apt to survive by hiding under the waves.
What has Israel done to Gaza?
Israel attempts to protect herself against terrorist organizations. Gaza is left alone by Israel, except when the terrorists in Gaza attack Israel. For example, today terrorists in Gaza launched over 50 missiles into Israel. When this happens, Israel usually tries to destroy the missile factories.
