Typhoon Attack Sub
Owner: Soviet
This naval unit is invisible to the enemy, and can only attack in water - which means, other naval units and the naval shipyard. It shoots powerful torpedos.
Their weakness is their slow speed.

Submarine
A submarine is a watercraft that can operate underwater. Military submarines were first widely used in World War I and are used by all major navies today. Civilian submarines and submersibles are used for scientific work at depths too great for human divers.
The word submarine was originally an adjective meaning "under the sea". Some firms who make diving gear but not parts for submarines, called their work "submarine engineering". "Submarine" as a noun meaning a submersible craft originated as short for "submarine boat" and older books such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea always use this term. Also, some people simply say 'sub' instead of saying the entire word 'submarine'.
