All were afraid to ask about submarines.
Submarines – amazing machines. That’s just so much we know about them really? It may be that half of the ideas derived from the stories and movies, not true, because in reality it usually is much more difficult. So read and try to understand what’s wrong with all these subs.
1. The fight, which was not
During the Second world war, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, commanding the small ship, once held a 68-hour battle with two Japanese submarines, which, according to him, definitely sank. Subsequently, the investigation came to the conclusion that this district never had submarines.
2. Conspiracy
During the Second world war meteorological messages in America was censored, to prevent the interception of weather reports of enemy submarines (which could in the low visibility to attack the coast of the United States). Once during a football match in the Chicago field was so covered with fog that the radio announcer could not see anything on it. Finally, he formally thanked for the fact that the speaker never once mentioned the word “fog” and did not mention the weather.
3. Secrets of the CIA
Drill ship worth $ 350 million, built in the early 70-ies of the American billionaire Howard Hughes to collect minerals from the ocean floor, was actually a front for the CIA. Americans used it to lift a sunken Soviet submarine with nuclear missiles on Board, from the bottom of the Pacific ocean (with a depth of 5 kilometers).
4. All is not as it seems
Often people think that military submarines are doing in order that they fought with each other. Only once in the history of the submarine deliberately sunk another submarine.
5. A dangerous legacy
An American nuclear submarine, which sank at a depth of 3 km in the Atlantic ocean in 1968, is still on the bottom (and its location has been established with the submersible). Nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons the submarine was never raised from the bottom.
6. There are no competitors
The Pentagon was scared in the 1980-ies, when the experts realized that Finland, contrary to expectations, managed to build two submarines “the World”, able to dive to a depth of 6000 meters. USA forced Finland to close the development, threatening the country with severe sanctions.
7. The mystery of the abyss
Since sound can pass through water better than through air, the potential decibel level increases significantly. LFA Sonar used by submarines, is able to reproduce the loud artificial sound that reaches 200+ decibels. Marine biologists believe that sea creatures can jump ashore to avoid loud man-made sounds.
8. Underwater fortress day of judgment
British submarine HMS Artful can stay submerged under water for 25 years without coming up to the surface. One of the checks which a British nuclear submarine makes to determine whether the government continues to function, it checks whether broadcasting continues BBC Radio 4.
9. Space needle
In the 1960-ies, fearing that undersea communications cables can be cut by submarines of the Soviet Union, the U.S. military sent 480 000 000 copper needles into space to ensure their communications infrastructure. The needle acted as a mirror for radio waves to allow communication between remote objects.
10. To open the envelope, click
The UK has 4 nuclear submarines as a nuclear deterrent. On Board each of them has a “letter of last resort”. These letters contain instructions on what to do, from the current Prime Minister, in case if the government is destroyed by a nuclear attack. The Prime Minister has only four choices of instructions, and these letters are destroyed unsolved during the change of Prime Minister in the country.
11. The treacherous dealers
The Colombian cartels have a specially designed submarines from fiberglass for smuggling cocaine. They are designed to carry about 4 people and they are extremely difficult to detect.
12. Area 53
The secretive naval base, the U.S. Navy, located on a remote lake in Northern Idaho. It is assumed that this database is used to develop the technology for stealthy submarines. Some locals believe that the lake via underground waterway to the Pacific ocean.
13. A cunning plan
When two new Zealand trawler collided with a Japanese submarine, which was heavier on more than 1000 tons, two trawlers Kiwi continued to RAM the submarine until, until they threw her on the ground. This allowed US to capture key Japanese code books.
