Recent advances in commercial tools and technologies now give open-source researchers some ability to monitor submarine fleets. Military ASW employs technologies such as magnetic anomaly detectors (MAD), which detect tiny disturbances to Earth’s magnetic field caused by metallic submarine hulls, passive and active sonar sensors that use sound propagation to detect objects underwater, as well as radar and high-resolution satellite imagery to detect surfaced submarines. Submarine detection and monitoring was traditionally the exclusive domain of highly classified military units specializing in naval anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Advancements in submarine detection have the potential to affect the survivability of submarines as nuclear delivery platforms. Given the integral deterrence role submarines play in the relationships between nuclear-armed countries, understanding the tools and technologies available for submarine monitoring is strategically important. 2 Of additional concern is the submarine arms race occurring between India and Pakistan, as well as North Korea’s pursuit of diesel-electric ballistic missile submarine (SSB) capabilities. For example, the United States, its NATO allies, and Russia have ramped up Cold War-esque cat-and-mouse submarine hunts in the North Atlantic. 1 Such programs have already had a negative impact on stability in several areas of the globe. An equal number of countries are developing and testing new nuclear-armed submarine-launched ballistic and cruise missiles. The United States, Russia, China, North Korea, India, and Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and France have or are developing submarines capable of carrying nuclear weapons systems. They can stay submerged for weeks or even months at a time, and move relatively undetected while on patrol. Below can be seen how choosing different types of frame parts affects the built ship.Nicknamed the “Silent Service,” submarines are considered the most survivable nuclear weapons-delivery platform. Ship characteristics can be changed by using different types of wood for production.

There are also modules within the game that cannot be crafted, instead only recovered from other ships after battle.Ĭanvas Rolls, Wooden Fittings, Iron FittingsĬopper Ingots, Iron Fittings, Wooden Fittings The quality of the finished module you can make depends on the players crafting level. You need to first acquire resources to make the module, and then by applying crafting notes to the recipe you can improve their overall quality. Iron Ingots, Silver Ingots, Copper IngotsĬrafting modules work similar to crafting ships. To the right you can also see the Naval Action Crafting tree, the blue ones are default and the red ones are non default ones, so those you need to acquire the blue print for.
Crafting level is improved through the experience attained while crafting parts, modules, and ships. Ships also require certain crafting levels and the more Crafting Notes that are put into a ship, the higher the crafting level is needed to complete that ship. The resulting handling of ship also depends on whether the wood used is fir, teak, oak, or live oak (live oak being the slowest but strongest, with fir the fastest but weakest).
The quality of the built-in upgrades of ships depends on how many crafting notes you include in the recipe. Crafting Notes are also dropped randomly when breaking up a ship for parts. These ingots are then crafted into gold coins, which are used with coal to craft (or buy) Crafting Notes. Ships recipes randomly drop either when crafting ships, or when breaking up a ship (which can also give crafting resources).Ĭrafting Notes are typically made from acquiring gold and combining it with coal to create gold ingots. Resources can be difficult to attain for each ships recipe, and can be time consuming to retain. Certain ships construction need unique components, with differing amounts of resources needed in each ships crafting recipe. Crafting in the current stage of Naval Actions involves gathering resources to construct ships.
