A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. Submarines are designed to navigate and operate beneath the surface of the sea, primarily used by naval forces for military purposes, but also in scientific research and exploration. The distinctive feature of a submarine is its ability to submerge and resurface, allowing it to evade detection, conduct stealth operations, and perform various tasks such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and engagement in combat. Submarines can vary in size and design, ranging from small research vessels to large military submarines equipped with advanced technology, including sonar systems, torpedoes, and missiles. They operate by manipulating buoyancy to dive and surface, utilizing ballast tanks filled with water or air. Additionally, submarines may be powered by nuclear reactors or diesel engines, enabling them to operate for extended periods underwater without the need for frequent surfacing. Overall, submarines play a crucial role in modern naval warfare and maritime operations.
