Submarine

1.0 Construction After the submarine cable has been designed inch-perfect, it is the next step where skills of geography are required. The construction of a submarine communications cable is not an easy matter. Furthermore, it is not an inexpensive job too. Skills and knowledge are required by engineers and workers whom are laying down the submarine communications cable. To ensure that the millions of dollars invested on the cable do not go to waste, every single precaution step must be taken…

The Boxing Day tsunami was a tragic event. Occurring December 24, 2004 an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 released a huge vibration that lasted 10 minutes; causing the Indian Ocean to draw back. Boxing Day defined by Dictionary.com, is, “(in Britain) the first weekday after Christmas, when Christmas gifts or boxes are given to employees, letter carriers, etc.” Though it was supposed to be an exciting day in places like Thailand and India it soon changed into a nightmare. With more than…

this multinational project, since they had been very well prepared to minimize the risks and uncertainties that might come during the completion of this project. Therefore, most people assumed that SCCN as one of the leading greenfield project for submarine cable network in the world that was financed in Australia and New Zealand. Just like any other project ever conducted, this project did not come without any risks involved. Some of the risks identified prior to the execution of the project,…

OUR NEW SUBS Early next year the competitive evaluation process (CEP) for Australia’s new submarine will come to an end and the company selected as best for our purposes will go on to the next stage. This is the design stage where all elements that make up the submarine and its equipment will be laid out. There will be input from Australian defence officials about our specific needs. When the design is complete, then we will move on to the construction phase. The three chosen ones asked to…

daring attempt by 3 Japanese midget submarines to infiltrate the partly constructed anti-submarine boom net and enter Sydney Harbour. The submarines which consisted of 2 crew members per vessel entered the harbour under orders to sink allied war ships. As soon as the first submarine was sighted anti-submarine guns on the shore and naval units were dispatched. These attacks were first believed to have been successful and prevented the operation of all three submarines, but later it was discovered…

energy is in submarines. Submarines are key features in any navy force. There are currently two hundred nuclear reactors at sea, while over seven hundred have been used since the 1950s ("Nuclear-Powered Ships." World Nuclear Association). The design of nuclear reactors in submarines is extremely complex, but decades of experimentation and precise scientific calculations have made submarines some of the most vital components of the modern navy. Missiles carried inside of attack submarines also…

Submarines play a somewhat big part of pop culture. They have inspired countless movies, books, songs, and sandwiches. One of the most famous movies about submarines is Das Boot It takes place in 1942 in a German submarine fleet. The fleet is in the middle of the "Battle of the Atlantic". Its job is to destroy and disrupt British shipping. "Das Boot" is the story of the crew of a German U-Boat. The movie received 8.5 stars and is viewed as a classic movie by many people (Hughes). In 1578…

The lecturer talks about strange sounds that Russian submarine crews called quackers. She contradicts each theory of the reading, saying that they have certain problems. First, the theory that suggests that the strange noises were calls of ocra whales during a courtship ritual. The lecturer refutes this point by saying that this theory is highly unlikely, because the ocra whales lived near the surface of the ocean and the submarines cannot be able to detect in the deep ocean. So, what is state…

Aviation community the opportunity to fly over the Japanese mainland was the successes of the submarine, surface, and land communities in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Specifically, the United States Submarine Community contributed to war by…

building and the first submarines were constructed here. L-8 was the first submarine to be constructed here. After World War II, they continuously redesigned and constructed new submarines. The newly constructed submarines produced a great impact on today's submarine technology and models. The Portsmouth Naval shipyard acts as a hub for the development and design of the submarines. More than seventy submarines were constructed during the World War II, making a record of four submarines being…
