A whale would not have survived sucha collision since it would have been enough to inflict injuries that wouldprove fatal. On the other hand, if such a collision would cause fatalities onthe submarine; let’s hope we never have to find out. Rest assured, the whalesare good at getting out of the way of submarines, and that is why no suchcollision has taken place until now.

Submarines are incredible pieces of technology. Not so long ago, a naval force worked entirely above the water; with the addition of the s­ubmarine to the standard naval arsenal, the world below the surface became a battleground as well. Submarines, though only about 2 percent of the U.S. Navy, destroyed over 30 percent of the Japanese Navy, including 8 aircraft carriers, 1 battleship and 11 cruisers. US submarines also destroyed over 60 percent of the Japanese merchant fleet, crippling Japan's ability to supply its military forces and industrial war effort. Navy Submarines Before the war, submarines were viewed as a novelty. Germany changed this perception. During the war, the U.S. Navy had 72 submarines in service. The B-class submarines served in the Philippines. The C-class were the first U.S. Navy submarines to hold major trials with warships. This class served at Coco Solo, Panama Canal. The F-class submarines were based in the Pacific. Submarines have multiple uses, such as tourism, undersea archaeology, facility inspection and maintenance, and marine science, salvage, and exploration. Military uses of submarines include attacking enemy ships or submarines, protecting aircraft carriers and other ships, acting as a nuclear strike force, blockade running, and more.
