Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the nineteenth century, in fact the first incident of a submersible sinking a enemy warship occurred during the Civil War, it wasnt until after the turn of the century that
submarines began to have a more pronounced utilization in wartime activities. Submarines evolved extensively between the start World War I and the finish of World War II. Submarine
utilization included their use in carrying high priority passengers and cargo to areas which had to be reached through stealth as well as in offensive and defensive maneuvers. Interestingly,
they were regarded by many as being "underhanded" and "unfair" by many of the world powers (Van der Vat PG). With
the change in emphasis to wartime activities after the turn of the century inventors turned their attention towards working out the kinks in submarine technology. They concentrated on
producing functional submersible working boats through increasing the operating range and speed, decreasing diving time and prolonging the amount of time a submarine could remain submerged. Interestingly, much of
the functional equipment we associate with todays submarine such as periscopes and gyroscopes were already a part of the nineteenth century submarines.
The biggest challenge to those interested in perfecting the submarine was in finding fully practical propulsion. This was done by replacing the risky and dangerous gasoline engines which
had previously driven the machines with the more practical and predictable diesel engine. This setup was first adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1912 when they incorporated it into
their the Skipjack, their first "E" class submarine. The Germans had already adopted the diesel engine setup in 1906. Most countries around the word were soon to convert
