25  Category XX—Submersible Vessels and Related Articles
 (a) Submersible and semi‑submersible vessels that are:
 (1) submarines specially designed for military use; or
 (2) mine countermeasure vehicles; or
 (3) anti‑submarine warfare vehicles; or
 (4) armed or are specially designed to be used as a platform to deliver munitions or otherwise destroy or incapacitate targets (for example, firing torpedoes, launching rockets, firing missiles, deploying mines, deploying countermeasures) or deploy military payloads; or
 (5) swimmer delivery vehicles specially designed for the deployment, recovery, or support of swimmers or divers from submarines; or
 (6) integrated with nuclear propulsion systems; or
 (7) equipped with any mission systems controlled under this list; or
 (8) developmental vessels funded by the United States Government via contract or other funding authorisation.
Note 1: Subparagraph (7)—"Mission system" is defined as a "system" that are defence articles that perform specific military functions such as by providing military communication, electronic warfare, target designation, surveillance, target detection or sensor capabilities.
Note 2: Subparagraph (8)—this subparagraph does not control vessels, and specially designed parts, components, accessories, attachments, and associated equipment therefor:
(a) in production; or
(b) identified in the relevant United States Government contract or other funding authorisation as being developed for both civil and military applications.
Note 3: Subparagraph (8)—note 2 does not apply to defence articles enumerated on this list in production or development.
Note 4: Subparagraph (8)—this subparagraph applies to those contracts and funding authorisations that are dated 8 July 2014, or later.
 (b) Engines, electric motors, and propulsion plants as follows:
 (1) naval nuclear propulsion plants and prototypes, and special facilities for construction, support, and maintenance therefor;
 (2) electric motors specially designed for submarines that have the following:
 (i) power output of more than 0.75 MW (1,000 hp);
 (ii) quick reversing;
 (iii) liquid cooled;
 (iv) totally enclosed.
 (c) Parts, components, accessories, attachments, and associated equipment, including production, testing, and inspection equipment and tooling, specially designed for any of the articles in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this category (MT for launcher mechanisms specially designed for rockets, space launch vehicles, or missiles capable of achieving a range greater than or equal to 300 km).
Note: "Range" is the maximum distance that the specified rocket system is capable of travelling in the mode of stable flight as measured by the projection of its trajectory over the surface of the Earth. The maximum capability based on the design characteristics of the system, when fully loaded with fuel or propellant, will be taken into consideration in determining range. The range for rocket systems will be determined independently of any external factors such as operational restrictions, limitations imposed by telemetry, data links, or other external constraints. For rocket systems, the range will be determined using
