Introduction
Underwater Technology has many
different areas and has had many
advancements throughout the years.
Such as transportation underwater,
this has been and is becoming bigger
as we move through the years. This
meaning submarines, which has been
a crucial part in wars and are now
becoming tourist attractions.
Submarines
A submarine is a watercraft that can operate
underwater at pressures past the range of
regular human survivability. Submarines
were first commonly used in World War 1
and are now used by all major navies today,
especially the American, Russian and British
navies. Civilian submarines and
submersibles are used for marine and
freshwater science and for work at depths
too great for human divers.
Pros
• Easy to move underwater without being
detected. Fast moving vessels.
• Research into areas that a human couldn’t
possibly go to for an elongated amount of
time. (Titanic)
• Help Scientists with their research on
animals or wildlife deep in the ocean.
• Used as protection in the Wars.
Cons
• People didn’t like when the vessels carried
bomb weapons to destroy the other
countries during battle.
• Lets out some toxic fumes into the water
because it has to use the propellers and in
order for them to work they need gasoline.
• Some people don’t think that it is safe to
be on.
History of Submarines
The first submersible (little submarine)
was built in 1620 by Cornelius Jacobszoon
Drebbel, a Dutchman. It was propelled by
means of oars. The invention of the
submarine was a matter of some
controversy; some claim that it was
“merely a bell towed by a boat”. Later two
improved types were tested in the Thames
between 1620 and 1624.
During The Wars
The first military submarine was Turtle (1775), a hand-
powered egg-shaped device designed by the
American David Bushnell, to fit only a single man.
