Submarines

# Overview

The one of the primary vehicle of the server, they are large moving minecraft vehicles design principally for combat from underwater. These vehicles can move on their own powered, design not unlike real ships with physical recipes resembling engines, cannons, sensors, and other equipment. They can be used for other purposes such as stealthy transports of commandos, unseen cargo ships, mine layers, and passenger transport.

These submarines do not need large players crew to use a submarine, However, Non-Player Characters (NPC) are still needed to maintain the sub's engine functions while it's being used.

## Common Parts of a Submarine

* Control Room (Bridge) = The control room of the ship, where ship sign, Ship's Wheel, Helm Sign, Engine Order Telegraphic (lee helm) Dive Controls, Sub Drive, BallastTank, Detector, Sonar, and and Nav sign are located.
* Engine Room = Location in center or further aft in a submarine, where power to move the submarine is generated. Typically using Diesel Engines and electrical Motors.
* Periscope - Sometimes referred to as a Snorkel, this allows Submarine Crews to see objects while submerged 3-7 meter under water, depending on height of the Submarine's Periscope.
* Crew Quarters = Where the crew sleep and relax. Bunks are needed for NPC Crews to populate the ship
* Torpedo Room = Storage Area for Ship's Torpedoes, which can be found forward most part of the ship where Torpedo Tube launchers are or back of the ship in stern.
* Fuel Tanks = Storage area where a ship's fuel blocks are placed, usually near bottom of the ship or the Keel.
* Cannons = Not main weapon of a submarine, these weapons are usually small to medium size cannons. Used only on surface, to sink ships already crippled. Their referred to as Deck Guns.
* Anti-Aircraft Gun = Secondary weapon designed take light objects, enemy soldiers, and primarily to take out aircraft. This isn't commonly used on submarines, but necessary fend of boarders while on the surface.

## Submarine Types

(SSC) Submarine, Coastal "Coastal Submarine" - Among the smallest of combat Submarines, typically unable to travel too far from coast due to limited supplies. These submarines have limited supply of torpedoes.

(SS) Submarine, Attack "Attack Submarine" - Indented as a strike vehicle, this is sometimes considered a "Regular" submarine. Typically has modest amount torpedoes mounted forward and aft. An attack submarine or hunter-killer submarine is a submarine specifically designed for the purpose of attacking and sinking other submarines, surface combatants and merchant vessels.

(SF) Submarine, Fleet "Fleet Submarine" - Large size submarine with large quantity of torpedoes. These ships typically known for speed, range, and endurance to operate as part of a navy's battle fleet.

(SC) Submarine, Cruiser "Submarine Cruiser" - A cruiser submarine was a very large submarine designed to remain at sea for extended periods in areas distant from base facilities. Their role was analogous to surface cruisers of the World Wars, cruising distant waters, commerce raiding, and scouting for the battle fleet. Typically these submarines have unusual abilities such as mounting large cannon or setup as a cargo ship operating underwater.
