About Submarine

Submarines are self-propelled underwater vessels used for naval warfare, ocean exploration, and civilian tourism. This particular size, around 15 meters, is typical of small research or midget submarines, often deployed for seabed surveys or special operations. A notable fact: the first submarine used in combat, the Turtle (1776), was only about 2.3 meters long, making this one over six times larger.

Size Overview

At 15 meters (about 49 feet) long, this submarine is roughly the length of a standard city bus but much narrower, weighing around 350 tons. It’s surprisingly compact—about the size of a sperm whale—allowing it to navigate shallow coastal waters and even fit inside a large hangar.
