¶ Intro
Submarines are silent hunters under the waters surface, having been first conceptualised during the American Civil War, but really invested in during the Great War, and wars afterwards. They are armed with torpedos and deck guns, specifically made to hunt and shadow merchant ships. They have little armour and surface armament and can be easily countered by corvettes, frigates or destroyers.
