Underwater Boats Coloring Pages

Ship and submarine coloring pages for boys are waiting. Let's learn a little history related to these underwater vehicles. Not so long ago they appeared in the world. Choose the images you want and take a look at the sections with other vehicles which are available to print or paint online - drukowanka.pl.

A submarine is any ship that is capable of moving both underwater and on the surface. In particular, of course, are warships. They first became an important factor in warfare during World War I (1914-18), when the Germans used them to destroy surface merchant ships. In such attacks, these ships used their primary weapon, a self-guided underwater missile known as a torpedo. Submarines played a similar role, on a larger scale, in World War II (1939-45), in both the Atlantic (Germany) and the Pacific (United States). In the 1960s, the first nuclear-powered submarines were developed, capable of remaining underwater for months at a time and launching long-range nuclear missiles without surfacing.

Trivia

1. First Submarine: The first known documented submarine was named "Turtle" and was built by David Bushnell in 1775 during the War of American Independence. It was designed to attack British ships.
2. Great Depths Dive: Submarines, also known as submarines, can dive to great depths, often exceeding 200 meters. Special technologies and materials are used to reach such depths.
3. Nuclear Propulsion: Modern submarines, especially those with strategic purposes, are often powered by nuclear reactors. This enables them to float underwater for long periods of time and maintain secrecy.
4. Crew and Life at Sea: Submarines tend to have limited space, making it necessary for the crew to live and work in confined spaces for extended periods of time. Modern ships are equipped with advanced systems for longer missions.
5. Silent Operations: One of the key aspects of submarines is their ability to perform quiet operations. Hence, many technologies and structures are being designed to minimize noise, which is crucial in today's underwater warfare.
6. Fighter Ships: Some submarines are specialized as hunter-killer ships that track and combat other submarines. Their job is to detect and eliminate potential underwater threats.
7. Ocean Research: Submarines are also used for ocean research and exploration of deep sea abysses. They allow scientists to collect data on the fauna, flora, geology and climate of the oceans.
8. Ballistic Ships: Ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) are strategic vessels with the ability to carry ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. They are part of the nuclear deterrent.
9. Use in Space Exploration: Submarines are used to train astronauts for space missions. The environment in a submarine is similar to conditions in space and helps prepare for space operations.

10. A History of Naval Warfare: Submarines have played an important role in the history of naval warfare, especially during the two world wars. Their ability to conceal and attack the enemy was strategically important to the outcome of the conflicts. Models

    1. SSBN (Submarine Ballistic Missile Nuclear): They are ballistic missile submarines powered by nuclear reactors. They are used to carry ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. An example is the US Ohio class, used by the US Navy.
    2. SSN (Submarine Attack Nuclear): Fighter submarines, powered by nuclear reactors. They are equipped with systems to combat other submarines and surface vessels. An example is the British Astute class.
    3. SSK (Submarine Attack Conventional): These are conventionally (non-nuclear) powered fighter submarines. They are used to fight other submarines and perform various tactical missions.
    4. SSGN (Submarine Guided Missile Nuclear): Multipurpose submarines powered by nuclear reactors. In addition to attacking other vessels, they have the ability to carry cruise missiles.
    5. Malyutka (Project 641): Soviet class of submarines, also known as Juliett-class. They were conventionally powered fighter craft.
    6. Virginia-class: Modern American fighter submarines powered by nuclear reactors. They are characterized by advanced technology and multi-purpose use.
    7. Type 212: German and Italian conventionally powered submarines. They are equipped with modern systems and technologies.
    8. Kilo-class: Russian class of submarines, also known as Project 877 Paltus. They are conventionally powered fighter craft.
    9. AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion): It's a propulsion technology for conventional submarines that allows them to go underwater for longer periods of time thanks to alternative energy sources.
    10. Los Angeles-class: American class of nuclear reactor-powered fighter submarines. She was an important part of the US Navy fleet.
