Submarines and their Combat Systems

摘要

So,what are submarines tasked to do? Submarines sink ships- this is not brassy jingoism,this is an utter reality.When the USS Seawolf was launched in 1995,there were 24,000 merchant ships,with a cargo-carrying capacity displacing over 1,000 gross-registered-tons,plying the sea lanes of the world for international trade and transport.As capital-intensive assets-meaning their annual amortized construction cost and operating expense exceed the cost of the labor to operate them-their collective loan-value,without any consigned cargo,can be estimated parametrically to torpedo plumes,so will insurance rates.
