Underwater combat involves naval forces using ships or submarines equipped with torpedoes, mines, and sometimes underwater drones to engage enemy vessels or disrupt maritime operations. Since water dampens sound and limits visibility, sonar systems are essential for detecting targets. Stealth and strategic positioning are crucial, as submarines rely on silent movement to avoid detection while launching attacks. Communication undersea is challenging, so tactics often depend on pre-planned maneuvers and advanced technology to locate, identify, and neutralize enemy threats covertly. The goal is to control maritime areas while minimizing exposure and maintaining operational secrecy.
