Undersea Warfare

Undersea warfare involves military operations conducted in underwater environments, primarily focusing on detecting and neutralizing submarines and other underwater threats. One of the key technologies used is underwater acoustics, which measures sound waves in water. Submarines can use sonar to detect other vessels, while surface ships and aircraft also employ sonar to identify and track submarines. Understanding how sound travels underwater is essential for effective communication and navigation in these operations, as sound travels farther and faster in water than in air, making it a critical component of modern naval warfare strategies.
