50 Insane Submarine Facts That WIll Shock You

Do you know these 50 submarine facts?

The US Navy's submarine force is known as the Silent Service- quiet, deadly, and utterly secretive, they represent everything that makes these weapons of battle the most feared by sailors on the high seas. With nations around the world fielding submarines ranging in size from half of that of an aircraft carrier to barely the length of a school bus, these undersea terrors are as versatile as they are deadly.
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show - today we're taking a look at 50 incredible facts about the history, development, and deployment of submarines.

Operating undetected for over a month in the Gulf of Mexico... I find that pretty amazing. What's the coolest thing about submarines for you?

Fun Fact: The Spicy Italian is the best sub.

Here's a fun fact: *There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky*

I'm actually not making this up, it's true

[Strype]

"Half of the US' entire nuclear arsenal is stored within 14 submarines." Yeah, that's what they want you to think...

"Recovered portion of the forward hull"

*Casually picking the entire back of the sub*

"We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills." - Sean Connery, 'The Hunt for Red October'

The 1st submarine to sink an enemy vessel also sank itself at the same time.

I love how the American submarines sinking is a valid mistake whereas the Russian is “poor workmanship”

Someone actually believes there is a ship capable waterway UNDERGROUND from a large lake in Idaho to the pacific?
I wonder, are there highly paid, educated folk who think this?

One time in WW2, on a quiet June night, Japanese submarine I-25 attempted to enter the Columbia river (between Washington and Oregon). But at the entrance of the river, there was a coastal defense artillery base (Fort Stevens) which they needed to get past. They started firing at the around the area with its 3 inch deck gun. The fort chose to not return fire and go lights out as to not give away its position. The submarine eventually gave up and turned around. During the incident, there were no casualties and the only thing destroyed was part of a baseball field.

Am i the only one to realise that the thumbnail is actually based on a cyclops concept for subnautica? (the concept’s name is the manta)

Number 18 is wrong. The largest submarine ever built was the Soviet Typhoon class ballistic missile submarine, NOT the Akula. First off, the Akula isn't a ballistic missile sub, it's a fast attack sub. And second, the Typhoon was WAY bigger, with a length of 574 feet, beam of 75 feet, and a displacement of over 48, 000 tons submerged. The Akula is big for a fast attack sub, but not a big submarine overall.

Anyone Notice the Thumbnail is the Atlas Concept from Subnautica?
