Days after the incident, two Russian strategic bombers flew within a mile of the carrier at a height of 500 feet, prompting F-18s from the ship to scramble and intercept them. The October incident was not the first time a Chinese submarine threatened a U.S. carrier strike group. In 2006...
Missing Titanic group: What we know about the ‘Titan’ submarine Rescuers were able to attach an air line to the ballasts and inflate them to bring the submarine back to the surface where the hull could be cut open in an attempt to rescue the crew. While 48 made it, 32 of the crew...
HELSINKI (AP) — Danish police say that the owner of a home-built submarine has told investigators that a missing female Swedish journalist died onboard in an accident, and he buried her at sea in an unspecified location.
found the submarine nearly 270 nautical miles from the port of Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut Province and about 3,000 feet under water. The company used unmanned, robotic devices to find it. Early this year, Ocean Infinity was retained in the hope of solving another maritime mystery: the dis...

A standalone Titan submarine would need to be big — about 20 feet (6 meters) long, with a weight (on Earth) of 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kilograms) — to accommodate the requisite communications equipment, Oleson said. A sub with an orbiter companion, by contrast, could fit the same scienc...
- a torpedo has a range of 12km but is only effective at about half that range; a guaranteed kill is only within 1 km (3300 feet) of the fix - an asw torpedo runs at 55 knots for at maximum 8 minutes And on top of that, your helicopter's stores are limited: ...
Previously it was believed that the torpedo was placed against the ship’s hull and then detonated remotely. New evidence suggests that the submarine was no more than 20 feet away when the torpedo was detonated. As close as the submarine was to the ship when the torpedo exploded, the researc...
- SSBNs also have two floating buoys they deploy while on patrol that float near the surface, allowing the submarine to stay several hundred feet beneath the ocean's surface, yet stay in constant communication. - Submarines also have what's called the "floating wire" they can deploy from th...
On June 19, the Titan, a vessel that went missing in the Titanic wreck, in North America has become a recent hot topic. A common misconception is that the Titan is a submarine. However, very few know the fact; it is a submersible. What make...
