Why do some fish puff up when they are brought to the surface from ocean depths?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some fish puff up when brought to the surface due to changes in pressure. As they move from deep ocean depths to the surface, the pressure decreases rapidly. To prevent their bodies from imploding, some fish have a gas-filled sac called a swim bladder that expands, causing the fish to puff up.

It is not recommended or safe to make a homemade submarine. Building a submarine requires specialized knowledge, materials, equipment, and rigorous testing to ensure safety and functionality. It is best to leave submarine construction to professionals and certified engineers.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear fission to power electrical generating plants and submarines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Advantages of nuclear fission for power generation include high power output, low greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel efficiency. However, disadvantages include high costs, nuclear waste disposal challenges, and the potential for accidents or meltdowns that can have severe consequences. Submarines benefit from nuclear fission due to long-lasting power supply and increased range, but face similar drawbacks such as high initial costs and concerns regarding safety and nuclear proliferation.

Why do people that want to go deep underwater need a submarine or dive bell?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

People need a submarine or dive bell to protect themselves from the immense pressure experienced at deep underwater levels. Submarines and dive bells are designed to withstand high pressures and provide a controlled environment for divers to safely explore these depths without risking injury or death.

What do you call the Deep blue crushed glass used in laundry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The deep blue crushed glass used in laundry is typically referred to as "laundry bluing." It is added to white laundry to help maintain or enhance whiteness by counteracting yellowing or dinginess caused by mineral deposits or detergents. Laundry bluing works by reflecting light, making clothes appear brighter and whiter.

How deep can a nuclear submarine go?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It varies by the type of submarine. United States, Russia, United Kingdom, China, France, and India are examples of nations who have or are assumed to have nuclear submarine capabilities.

For security purposes, governments don't give out full specifications on their weapons of war, especially on something as big, expensive, and instrumental as a submarine. The true depth information is classified, probably above "Top Secret". For the general US submarine fleet, the "official" answer is typically around 600 feet. (According to one Navy instructor it was changed from 400 feet when a documentary was aired accidentally showing footage of the depth meter at a depth of around that depth.)
Any Navy in the world who operates a nuclear submarine is going to publish a low ballpark figure in the name of national security and secrecy. If everyone knew the exact depth a submarine could submerse to, it'd be easier to kill them. Wikipedia says a Soviet/Russian class Alpha submarine may have successfully operated at a depth of 4,300 feet. But rest assured whatever the published depth of submarine is, it many times greater than that.

What submarines were in the South China Sea during the Vietnam War?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Though only Navy records will have a full listing, the National Archives is a good place to start. In general, only PACFLEET (Pacific Fleet) boats (out of the West Coast of the US and Pearl Harbor) would've been assigned to cover operations off the coast of Vietnam. Though such information is now declassified, the actual information isn't usually kept as a single record; it would take a researcher to view all submarine records for those boats for the period indicated, and even some boat records are still classified due to their particular missions. We do know that there were, indeed, fast attack submarines in the South China Sea during the Vietnam conflict. By reviewing the records of individual boats, it might be possible to guess that they were there, particularly if a tour has "western Pacific" as a description of the operating area. But we can make some guesses. Consider just the Skipjack-class boats. Skipjack, SSN-585, was an east coast submarine, and so was Scorpion, SSN-589, which is on eternal patrol (meaning she was lost). They were not there. The USS Shark, SSN-591 was also on the east coast, and it, too, was not there. One boat that was certainly there (in 1967 and again 1971) was the USS Scamp, SSN-588. The USS Sculpin, SSN-590, may have been there on its tour of the western Pacific in 1964. USS Snook, SSN-592 was probably there in 1965, and again in 1969, 1970-71, and also in 1972. If you wish to poke around on the web, you might find that some Thresher/Permit-class submarines were also there. (As the USS Thresher, SSN-593, was lost, this class of boat takes the name of the next remaining sister ship, the USS Permit, SSN-594.) These newer submarines began appearing in the late 1960's, and it is possible that some were in that theater of operation. The fleet ballistic submarines (boomers) stayed away; there was no need for them to be in that small pond. They remained on patrol in the Pacific where they were less likely to be detected yet well within range of tactical targets with their Polaris missiles. Oh, and don't limit your thinking on this one. The Russians has a number of boats in the South China Sea at different times during the conflict as well.
