所有军用舰艇中,潜艇可以说是最具隐蔽性和突然性的。占地球面积70％以上的海洋为潜艇作战、生存提供了极为有利的自然环境。在二战中,潜艇击沉的舰船数量居各种作战舰艇之首。在战后几次较大局部战争中(如英阿马岛之战,海湾战争),潜艇无论作为威慑力量还是作为攻击力量也都发挥了巨大的作用。因此世界各主要海军国家都把潜艇力量放在十分重要的位置,对其发展做了相当大的投入。冷战期间,美、前苏联两个超级大国间的军备竞赛刺激了潜艇技术的迅速 Among all military ships, submarines can be said to be the most subtle and sudden. The oceans, which account for more than 70% of the earth's surface, provide a very favorable natural environment for submarine operations and survival. In World War II, the number of submarine sunk ships ranked first in various combat ships. In several larger wars after the war (such as the battle of the British Arma and the Gulf War), submarines have also played a huge role both in deterrence and in attack. Therefore, all the major naval countries in the world have placed their submarine forces in a very important position and made considerable investments in their development. During the Cold War, the arms race between the two superpowers of the United States and the former Soviet Union stimulated the rapidity of submarine technology
