A waterborne transport mode in which a vessel travels submerged beneath the surface rather than upon it, using ballast tanks to control buoyancy and depth. Submarine transport is used chiefly for military purposes, and to a lesser extent for scientific research, deep-sea tourism and specialized cargo or personnel transport in settings, such as beneath polar ice, where surface travel is impossible.
Facts
Core ConcernOperating independently while submerged beneath the surface of the water, chiefly for military, scientific or other specialized purposes. 1 Origin YearEarlier plans for underwater navigation vehicles exist from the 16th century, but 1620, when Cornelis Drebbel built a submersible propelled by oars, is the first with reliable evidence of actual construction.
