What submarines were in the South China Sea during the Vietnam War?
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.
What were the disadvantages of u-boats in world war 1?
U-boats were a huge advantage to both Germans and Americans in WWI for multiple reasons:
-Torpedos could be shot and with no or short notice it would be launched towards the enemy. Hopefully reaching the boat
-Radars were invented to help sense torpedos and U-boats in the seas.
-Held multiple passengers that kept the boat running smooth and efficently
Overall, a huge success.. Germans sinking the Lusitannia from the U-boat... Killing many immigrants and 125 American Citizens

How long have submarines been around for?
The idea of a submarine has been around for many centuries; even Leonardo da Vinci had drawings of them. Historians credit the invention of the submarine to William Bourne, a British mathematician and ex-Royal Navy gunner who published a design in 1578. The first navigable submarine for which reliable construction data exists was built from Bourne's design in 1620 by Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel, a Dutch inventor in the employ of King James I of England.
What happen when German submarines began attacking American ships in 1941?

What was the name of the Confederate submarine that was first to sink an enemy ship?
It was the H. L. Hunley, a submarine developed by the Confederate navy during the U.S. Civil War. The mission had mixed results, however, because the Hunley sank soon afterwards, and all hands went down with it. The H.L. Hunley was under Confederate Army command because the Confederate Navy wanted nothing to do with it, as they considered submarines too dangerous, and it was dishonorable to attack at sea without showing the flag. Of the crew aboard when the sub made its fateful attack, only one was a sailor, and the rest were army men. It was not until World War 1 that a submarine would better the Hunley's achievement, as the German sub U9 sank three British cruisers and survived to tell the story. Robert Fulton's Nautilus was actually the first submarine to sink a ship, but it was a peacetime demonstration. Earlier than that, David Bushnell's Turtle made the first submarine attack in the American Revolutionary War, but it was unsuccessful, so Hunley was indeed the first submarine to sink an enemy ship.
Why did German submarine attack ships?
Germany returned to its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917 because they hoped that by doing so they would be able to deprive Great Britain of food and war materials. Great Britain was heavily dependent on imports in order to maintain its war effort. By attacking Britain's shipping, Germany hoped that it could starve Britain into submission or weaken its war effort enough that the German army could defeat it on the Western Front.
What is the name of the famous submarine that the Germans used during the two world wars?
Germany had no submarines at the end of WWI - they were ordered to give all of them up, and the Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany from ever producing or operating submarines again. All were either sunk, scuttled, or kept as war prizes. However, with no checks in place, the German government was able to get around that little problem.
The German submarine U-99, under the command of U-Boat Captain and top German Ace Otto Kretschmer, was credited with 38 ships sunk in WWII, accounting for the bulk of his unsurpassed record of Allied tonnage sunk, making him the top U-Boat commander of the war.
How did submarines change the way people traveled?
Submarines, other than those used for local sightseeing, have never become a means of mass transportation. They are much more complex to operate and maintain than ordinary ships, and more expensive to construct.
Their use is almost exclusively for military vessels and for deepsea research.

What was the submarine that sink the Lusitania?
The German U-boat S-20, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Walther Schwieger, sank the Royal Mail Steamship (RMS) Lusitania on May 17, 1915. The sinking was off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard. She sank in 18 minutes.
The S-20 was patrolling the shores of the United Kingdom, under orders to attack any vessel (known as Unrestricted Submarine Warfare) as the Germans had considered the UK under a naval blockade for several weeks.
Schweiger noted that he only fired one torpedo, and that a secondary explosion was so large it caused enough damage that he didn't feel the need for a second. The cause of the secondary explosion remains a controversy to this day.
The resulting public condemnation of Germany was so great that Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered the German Navy to return to a policy of Restricted Submarine Warfare. This continued until 1917, when Germany again resumed its policy of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare in response to a British Naval Blockade.
What is a typical chain of command aboard a US nuclear submarine?
It depends on the boat type (SSBN, SSGN, or SSN) as far as the rank of the Commanding Officer, but the CoC is essentially the same. It's not much different than other afloat commands in the Navy, though as with all nuclear-powered vessels, the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer must both have previously been qualified and successfully served aboard another vessel as an Engineer Officer.
Note:
The Ship's Corpsman (Doc) reports directly to the CO/XO.
The Chief of the Boat reports directly to the CO/XO. Though
the COB's rank is typically a Master Chief (E-9), it can be a
lower rank, such as a Senior Chief (E-8). Regardless of rank,
the COB is by virtue of position as COB the most senior ranked
enlisted member aboard ship.
