What it is Filled
A submarine designed primarily to seek out and sink other submarines and surface ships and to gather intelligence, as opposed to ballistic missile submarines that carry strategic weapons, powered by diesel-electric, air-independent or nuclear propulsion; attack submarine classes span from Second World War boats such as the American Gato class and Italian Perla class through Cold War classes such as the Soviet Zulu and British Oberon to modern types such as the Chinese Type 039A, and they are described here for reference and history.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent describe attack submarines as a class of warship in general and historical terms, identify notable classes and operators from reference sources, relay arms control and legal context, and avoid operational, tactical or technical instruction.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Anti-submarine and anti-ship role
- Propulsion types
- Stealth and sensors
- Many national classes
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Provide operational, tactical, acoustic or design detail that would help locate, attack or build a submarine.
- Track the movements of active submarines.
- Help evade export controls or sanctions on submarine technology.
- Present nuclear safety incidents as resolved without evidence.
Only with a human decision
- Publishing content about a specific active vessel or ongoing incident.
May
- Describe the role of attack submarines and how they differ from ballistic missile submarines, from published sources.
- Report on submarine accidents and losses as documented in naval history.
- Help museums describe preserved submarines.
Moral aspects Filled
- Submarine accidents kill whole crews and can release radioactive material.
- Weapons of war deserve sober, non-glorifying description.
Who is affected
- Submarine crews and their families
- Coastal communities
- People in conflict zones
Owners Filled
Steward
The navy of the state that operates it; preserved boats are held by museums.

- How should reference sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming specific classes; should they be split off?
