  2. Submarine hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_hull

    The double hull of a submarine is different from a ship's double hull. The external hull, which actually forms the shape of submarine, is called the outer hull, casing or light hull. It defines the hydrodynamic performance of submarine, which affects the amount of power required to drive the vessel through the water.

  4. Submarine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine

    A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. (It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater capability.) [2] The term “submarine” is also sometimes used historically or informally to refer to remotely operated vehicles and robots, or to medium-sized or smaller vessels (such as the midget submarine and the wet sub).

  5. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

    A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.

    Sail of the French nuclear submarine Casabianca showing the diving planes, camouflaged masts, periscope, electronic warfare masts, door and windows.. In naval parlance, the sail (American usage) or fin (British/Commonwealth usage) (also known as a fairwater) of a submarine is the tower-like structure found on the dorsal (topside) surface of submarines.

  7. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    The engines are currently used on submarines of the Gotland and Södermanland classes and the Japanese Sōryū-class submarine. [16] These are the first submarines to feature Stirling air-independent propulsion (AIP), which extends the underwater endurance from a few days to several weeks. [15]

  9. Conning tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conning_tower

    USS Triton (laid down 1956) was the last US submarine to have a conning tower, after which the conning tower's function as an attack center was integrated into the control rooms of subsequent designs. Thus it is incorrect to refer to the sail (fin in British usage), or fairwater of a modern submarine as a "conning tower".
