submarine warfare
Naval depth battles
Submarine warfare is naval combat involving submarines—vessels capable of operating underwater.
The term especially describes attacks on shipping by submerged vessels, as in the German U-boat campaigns of both World Wars.
Unrestricted submarine warfare targets all vessels in a zone without warning, including civilian ships.
The strategy aims to disrupt supply lines and blockade enemies while exploiting the submarine's stealth advantage.
