Are there any submarines named Juliet?

There are no known submarines named Juliet. However, the name Juliet is used by NATO to identify a class of Soviet submarines that are no longer in operation. It was a diesel-electric submarine capable of launching cruise missiles. Most American World War II submarines were named after species of fish. Most early nuclear-powered submarines were named after World War II submarines. The first generation of nuclear-powered ballistic submarines were named after famous Americans. Most Los Ageles-class fast attack submarines are named after U.S. cities, with the exception of the USS Hyman G. Rickover. Most Ohio-class guided missle and ballistic missile submarines are named after U.S. states, with the USS Henry M. Jackson being the exception. The Virginia-class fast attack submarines are mostly named after U.S. states. The lone exception as of January 2011 is the John Warner, which is expected to be delivered in 2015.

Did the Japanese use submarines in World War 2?

The Imperial Japanese Navy started World War II with one of the largest submarine forces in the world. Despite the sinking during the war of several major U.S. warships by Japanese submarines, the Japanese were never able to effectively employ their submarines to any great extent. Japanese submarines tended to operate alone and were directed toward tactical gains. The United States, in contrast, employed wolf packs, embraced new technology, and engaged in a campaign of strategic submarine warfare. On Dec. 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, there where 3 Japanese submarines stationed in a picket line 100 miles forward of the carriers. They were the I-23, I-21, and I-19. There are even rumors of Japanese subs patrolling the East Coast during the war.


Are there any battery powered submarines around?

All submarines have storage batteries. Diesel-electric boats like the ones used during World War II are still used by the navies of some countries. Nuclear-powered submarines also have storage batteries that are used as a backup power supply if and when the sub loses the use of its steam-powered electric generators.
