Can a submarine rests on the sea bottom?
Before getting too deep into the details, let it be known that American nuclear submarines can come to rest on the ocean floor. Like all U.S. nuclear subs, its real crush depth is classified, but it has an estimated 2,400 to 3,000 feet before its time runs out.
Are submarines difficult to detect?
Originally Answered: Are submarines easy to detect? A modern Nuclear Powered Submarine is extremely difficult to locate. A modern Diesel-Electric Boat is virtually impossible to locate, and a modern AIP boat is dammed near impossible to locate.
Do submarines use underwater cameras?
Military submarines do NOT have viewing ports or external remote cameras. There is no reason to see outside a military submarine when it is under water.
How does a submarine hide in the ocean?
Another ruse (one often seen in the films) is for a submarine to hide itself by coming to rest on the ocean floor, or near ocean cliffs and trenches. Here it’s difficult for the sonar to distinguish between echoes from rocks and from the submarine.
No, Navy submarines don’t have windows or portholes so the crew can watch undersea life. Submarines have only periscopes for outside vision, and those are only used close to the surface, a periscope depth (PD).
What can we learn from the films about submarines?
Das Boot, The Hunt for Red October, The Bedford Incident, We Dive At Dawn: films based on submariners’ experience reflect the tense and unusual nature of undersea warfare – where it is often not how well armed or armoured a boat is that counts, but how quiet.
The War Zone reached out some of its submariner contacts, all of which have many years of experience aboard U.S. Navy nuclear submarines, to see if detection of unidentified objects actually happens and what their thoughts were on the topic in general. We were surprised by what we heard. Eyewitness reports of USOs are nothing new.
