What it is Filled
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.
Why it exists Filled
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.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Independent underwater operation
- Pressure hull
- Ballast control
- Civil and naval forms
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Provide military operational, detection or design detail about naval submarines.
- Operate or advise operating submersibles outside certification and safety rules.
- Present uncertified tourist submersibles as safe.
- Disturb wrecks of lost submarines, which are often war graves.
Only with a human decision
- Launching, diving or rescue decisions for crewed submersibles.
May
- Describe submarines as technical, historical and civil objects.
- Report the position and status of a civil submersible it is authorized to monitor to its operator.
Moral aspects Filled
- Submarine losses kill whole crews; safety shortcuts are deadly.
- Sunken submarines are graves deserving respect.
Who is affected
- Crews and passengers
- Families of the lost
- Rescue services
Owners Filled
Steward
The operator or navy that runs it; classification societies certify civil craft.
Master systems
- Ship registers
