Navy Building Speedy Subs
The Navy plans a true submarine capable of underwater travel near 30 knots, faster than earlier subs, with German type 28 and 21 designs cited as benchmarks. Russia allegedly leads in new builds, aided by German engineers to reach speeds around 26 knots, while the United States and Britain adapt German innovations like the Schnorkel. Submarine warfare from underwater is being explored, aiming for faster, stealthier boats.
