National Submarine Day 2024

Reason to celebrate: March 17, 2024 is National Submarine Day.

Submarine Day

How low… are you able to go? How low… are you able to go? If this involves Submarine Day, we imagine it’s pretty low.Surprisingly, the very first recorded submersible was built by Cornelius Drebbel in 1620 for James I of England, although why anybody may wish to plunge underneath the the surface of a 17th century Thames is beyond us.Today’s submarines have course much more sophisticated than that specific oar-powered contraption, getting performed major parts in military procedures for more than a hundred years. The quantity of expertise which goes to their design, construction, maintenance and operation is very staggering, particularly when you consider the inclusion of navigation and communication networks sensors, armaments and weaponry effective space systems not to mention, a lot of carefully trained and highly trained males and ladies, frequently putting their lives at risk for his or her nations.So today may take great shape: We are able to consider the resourcefulness and majesty from the mighty submarine itself. We are able to celebrate its place nowadays. We are able to imagine what they’ll end up like inside a hundred years’ time. But many importantly, we are able to take the time to consider individuals lost at ocean through the years, and pay tribute towards the courage of individuals who're underneath the sea waves only at that exact instant.
