Das Boot - the Submarine Shoot
Das Boot is a German television series which follows the fictional experiences of U-Boat submarine crews in World War II. I watched it a couple of years ago & I loved it.
Throughout the series there’s some tremendous underwater footage of U-Boats in action which, of course, has to be model boats. I thought the scenes were excellent & I wondered if I could create my own composite U-Boat image. After all I have lots of underwater seascapes already in my archives, all I needed was the U-Boat… and that was my inspiration to seek out a model submarine club & set up this shoot.

Russian Submarines On U.S. Eastern Seaboard! #shorts
CREDIT: The submarine shown at 0:30 was taken from Yt channel CIAASno.
During the cold war, the US and Russia both used to place their submarines close to each other's coast, but the collapse of the Soviet Union literally eliminated Russia's capability to send its submarines thousands of miles away from its home ports. However, this changed in 2009, when 2 Russian Akula class, or project-971 submarines were found patrolling just miles away from the U.S eastern seaboard.

USS West Virginia visits Diego Garcia
The Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine USS West Virginia (SSBN 736) stopped in Diego Garcia for a brief port visit Oct. 25-31, 2022, during an extended deterrence patrol providing security and stability to our Allies.
The visit, part of West Virginia's sustained deterrence operations in the United States Central Command and Indo-Pacific Command areas of responsibility, emphasizes the unmatched capabilities of a ballistic missile submarine to deter and, if necessary, respond from anywhere on the globe.
"Every operational plan rests on the assumption that nuclear deterrence is holding, and SSBNs like West Virginia are vital to a credible nuclear deterrence for the United States and our Allies," said Adm. Charles Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command.
West Virginia is one of 14 Ohio-class SSBNs that make up the most survivable leg of the nuclear triad by serving as an undetectable launch platform for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Before visiting Diego Garcia, West Virginia surfaced to embark Gen. Michael Kurilla, the commander of U.S. Central Command, in the Arabian Sea and participated in a joint, U.S. Strategic Command-directed communications exercise to validate emerging and innovative tactics in the Indian Ocean.
"West Virginia, like each of our ballistic missile submarines, is specifically designed for extended deterrent patrols," said Vice Adm. William Houston, commander of Naval Submarine Forces. "The stealth and response capability of these submarines combined with the crew's training make our SSBNs the most powerful warships in the world."
The submarine also conducted a complete crew exchange in Diego Garcia and a subsequent replenishment at sea, highlighting the SSBN force's readiness and flexibility to remain on patrol for an extended period of time.
West Virginia is one of six ballistic-missile submarines stationed at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia, and can carry up to 20 submarine-launched ballistic missiles with multiple warheads.
Submarine Forces execute the Department of the Navy's strategic deterrence mission in and from the undersea domain. In addition to lending added capacity to naval forces, Submarine Forces, in particular, are expected to leverage those unique advantages that come with undersea concealment to permit operational, deterrent, and combat effects that the Navy and the nation could not otherwise achieve.

Russia lost big! US $4 Billion Submarine Is Finally Ready For Action
Some submariners call the USS Connecticut the luxury sports car of submarines. It's a $4 billion piece of American military hardware that's fast and outfitted with the latest electronic gadgetry only available when price is not a consideration.
But despite its high cost and sophisticated tech, the United States Navy says the Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack sub ran smack into an undersea mountain in the Pacific on October 2.
The Connecticut is now pier-side at a US Navy base on the Pacific island of Guam. The Navy says it got there — more than 2900 kilometres east of the South China Sea — under its own power and its nuclear reactor was not harmed, although 11 of its crew suffered minor injuries in the collision.

Russian Submarine conducts missile drills in Pacific near Japan
Russia's Ministry of Defence released a video of a submarine conducting missile firing exercises off in the Pacific. "The Submarine Magadan of the Pacific Fleet carried out Caliber cruise missile launches on sea and coastal targets. Before performing combat exercises, the submarine secretly entered a given area of the Sea of Japan, from where it launched missile strikes at target positions from a submerged position. The first missile successfully hit a sea target - a target shield that imitates a surface ship of a conditional enemy. The second missile hit a coastal target at the tactical field Surkum in the Khabarovsk Territory."

US Navy Nuclear Submarine Crashes Through Polar Ice
U.S. Navy nuclear submarines USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS Connecticut (SSN 22) surfacing in the Arctic Ocean for Ice Exercise (ICEX).
During ICEX, Navy submarines would conduct Arctic transits in which they would surface and break the ice (usually 60-90 cm or 2–3 feet thick), collect data, and run other training exercise to gain experience working in the Arctic.

Russian submarine with nuclear torpedo leaves base | Morning in America
A Russian submarine said to be carrying a one-of-its-kind nuclear device has left its base near the Arctic Circle. An Italian newspaper says it got a leaked NATO warning saying officials are worried Russians may be testing out a torpedo capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Right now, though, there is no indication Russia is preparing for an explosive nuclear test.

Submarine ARA San Juan Simulation (Implosion + Sinking) | Similar to KRI Nanggala 402
This is a structural simulation of the last moments of the submarine from Argentina you probably have heard of. The simulation utilizes new program code for drag and pressure simulation of water to reproduce the dynamics that have acted on the pressure hull. Physical parameters like scale, mass, pressure, density of the water are accurately simulated.
The structure itself, however, was so complex that it has been discretized more roughly in order to keep simulation times practical. While volumes and connection areas of the individual elements are still accurately computed from geometry, joining structural elements like that can only be seen as an approximation of the real world and thus deviations are to be expected. Take this with a grain of seasalt.
