Shinra uV Submarine

Shinra uV Submarine is a vehicle type in the Final Fantasy VII series. They are underwater vehicles manufactured by the Shinra Electric Power Company. They are primarily used around Junon and to explore the underwater area around the Junon Underwater Reactor. Cloud Strife and his party captured a Shinra uV Submarine when battling for Huge Materia.
The submarine captured by Cloud's party in Final Fantasy VII is used on the world map to reach Bottom of the Sea locations, including story locations and optional content.
==History==
===Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-===
Considered fugitives by the Shinra management due to their involvement and collaboration with Verdot, the Turks attempted to locate the required support materia needed to help Verdot's daughter, Elfe. Discovering one located in Gongaga with the help of Reeve Tuesti, the Player Turk abducted a submarine from the Junon harbor with Cait Sith and navigated the mined ocean floor to get to the village unseen.
===Final Fantasy VII===
During "Clash in the Deep Sea", the party stole a submarine while hunting for the Huge Materia in the underwater reactor.
Later, the party used the submarine in "What Aeris Left Behind" submarine was used to obtain the Key to Ancients, needed by Geisel Bugenhagen in the City of the Ancients.
==Characteristics==
The Shinra uV Submarine is a whale-shaped submarine. The submarines are manufactured at Junon Shipyard Dock 3, and deployed at the underwater reactor near the Junon coast. The submarines are equipped with four 610 mm torpedo tubes, two 4, 20 mm autocannons, an ultraolow-frequency sonar, and a crane for moving supplies.
==Gameplay==
The player takes over a submarine in "Clash in the Deep Sea". First, the submarine is controlled for the Submarine Game (which can be replayed in the Gold Saucer). Depending on their performance, they will either control the grey submarine or can capture a red one: failing to destroy the red submarine in "Clash in the Deep Sea" will lose a Huge Materia and the grey submarine captured during the quest, but the red submarine can later be captured by the party to grant them a submarine.
The submarine provides access to a number of areas located at the Bottom of the Sea. As well as the Key to Ancients in "What Aeris Left Behind", this includes the battle with Emerald Weapon and the bonus dungeon Sunken Gelnika, where a number of rare weapons are obtained and powerful enemies to fight for maxing stats.
If Yuffie is in the party, she starts suffering from motion sickness almost immediately after the sub embarks. Cloud also starts suffering momentarily from claustrophobia.
