Here are the top ten unusual and advanced submarines ever built it's amazing the technology that was put in these top navy ships. Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 5. Japanese Suicide Subs During World War Two the Japanese used a form of suicidal warfare techniques such as the Kamikaze airplanes. Did you know they did they same with submarines as well? The Shinyo suicide boats were basically human, manned torpedoes known as Kaiten torpedoes. This literally translated to Kaiten “or the return to heaven”. The Japanese soldiers would much rather die in battle than surrender to the American. These were put to use and carried 3,420 tons of explosives and to add to that, they were fueled with diesel to making them even more deadly. Although they did have trouble supplying oxygen to the pilots, they were able to design more efficient models which were able to successful sink American ships. 4. Unmanned Nuclear Submarine If you didn’t already think nuclear submarines were scary enough, wait until you see what the Russians could possibly be developing next! It’s a nuclear powered sub meaning its power is generated by a nuclear reactor like the one that melted down in Chernobyl. A Russian news leak comes after a meeting that occurred at a meeting between naval officers and Vladimir Putin. We know the Russians do have some extremely powerful nuclear submarines and technology is advancing with to take humans out of danger. Could these claims possibly be true. These images have hinted at this possibility as well like you see in this photo. The nuclear reactor in this submarine called is quite smaller than other submarines but also has a diesel engine as a backup. As of right now, she does have a crew and in this photo, at a dry dock but it’s possible the Russians are planning on seeing if someday this sub could take the seas on her own. 3. The Turtle Also known as the American Turtle, it’s the first submersible warcraft with a history of battle combat. She was first built in 1775 in Connecticut and was used to attach explosives on enemy British ships without being detected. It only had enough oxygen for 25 minutes of submergence. Royal Navy British boats occupying American harbors were the favorite targets for this primitive submarines. The turtle was about 10 feet wide and was operation for 1 person at a time. General George Washington authorized the first turtle attack in the New York harbor where unsuspecting, British naval officers were enjoying a cup of tea on the HMS Eagle. The vessel was blown to pieces in the middle of the night by a torpedo and it was the first recorded attack of a submarine ever. So us Americans, will take credit for the invention of the submarine. 2. The Typhoon Although the Americans may have been to the first to put the submarines to use, the Russians seem to have the best and biggest subs. The Typhoon is the biggest active submarine and can displace 48,000 tons of water. It measures 175 meters long or 574 feet. While other subs may have to worry about running out of fuel at some point, crew members can stay on board for 120 days at time comfortably but can for years without refueling. It’s also designed to travel under ice and then literally break the ice above them. It carries 20 intercontinental ballistic missiles and of, are all armed with nuclear warhead. If that didn’t seem like enough firepower for you, it also has 4 torpedo tubes with a total of 22 anti-submarine missiles. These tubes can also be used to launch mines. We need to try our best not to get Russia mad at us. They take their submarines very seriously 1.US Pennsylvania Russian’s may have the biggest submarine but the US still has some serious firepower to match them. The Pennsylvania is a United States ballistic missile submarine that also is using nuclear energy from a piece of uranium the size of your fist to stay moving under the water. It’s estimated that it could go 20 years without ever needing to come to the shore to refuel if it wasn’t for food. She’s also the biggest American Submarine currently and glides through the Pacific Ocean, undetectable to enemy radar. She’s ready to bring on the apocalypse if needed with 14 thermonuclear missiles on board. It’s only about 15 feet shorter than the Typhoon. Scientists have found a way to get turn seawater into oxygen by a process known as electrolysis and one generator can produce over 4000 liters of oxygen every hour. She now has a limitless amount clean air which means she may never need to come up to breath
