Description
Submarines are the ultimate stealth weapon. When remaining underwater to attack or use its sensors, silence is critical. Through design, modern nuclear submarines have equipment mounted on special mounts to isolate the noise from the outside and reduce its noise signature in the ocean. Rotating equipment is checked from the design through operation so it is always quiet and it is immediately repaired if it is not operating properly. The sub checks itself with its own acoustic sensors and establishes its most quiet lineup of equipment for normal or critical operations. Overall, the reason submarines are so quiet is because every member of the crew knows how important it is to remain silent and undetected ensuring the submarine can perform its mission.
