THE SUBMARINE

In the past 52 years the submarine's first ballistic berudal United States, the USS George Washington launched. Besides being equipped with ballistic missiles, submarines are also armed with torpedoes and cruise missiles.

According to the History Channel television station, a submarine of this kind is very important for maritime security force anywhere because it is difficult to find and attack effectively, especially to destroy similar nuclear-powered ships.

Only the U.S. Navy, Russia, Britain, France, and China which have nuclear submarines. Other countries still rely on submarine conventional diesel power.

Submarine nuclear power began to be known at the launching of the USS Nautillus in 1944. Abundant resources provided by the uranium-fueled reactors to make nuclear submarines can remain submerged and operate at high speeds with no limits.

The submarine itself was first discovered in the 18th century and 19 by David Bushnell and Robert Fulton, with the man submarine. In 1898, John P. Holland launched the Holland, which has a gasoline engine to move on the surface and battery-powered electric motor to explore in the water. The ship was finally purchased the U.S. government in 1900.

Ships findings of Simon Lake (1866-1945) was first adopted in Europe and eventually by the U.S.. On the night before the World War I, all naval ships equipped with diesel-powered submarines.

During World War II, submarines innovation progress. The inventors snorkel introduce fresh air supply for the diesel engine so it does not bother to come to the surface.
