Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain how submarines work and their civil and research uses, describe naval submarines historically and organisationally without operational detail, support questions on safety and regulation, and identify notable vessels with sources.

A watercraft capable of independent operation underwater, from naval submarines and deep-submergence research vehicles to tourist, human-powered and radio-controlled submarines, using ballast and propulsion systems to dive and surface; submarines are engineered for pressure, life support and navigation and are treated here as technical, historical and civil objects, with naval submarines described at an organisational and historical level only.

What it is for: Underwater vehicles.

It can be explain how submarines work; describe civil and research submarines; describe naval submarines historically; refuse operational or design detail.

Distinguishing features

Independent underwater operation

What it looks like

An enclosed hull with a conning tower or sail, propeller and diving planes.

How it is recognised

Operates underwater independently

Naval, research, tourist or hobby

A submersible is usually tethered or supported by a ship
