Atom-Uboote - USA, Frankreich und England (Typenkompass)

In the Second World War, submarines proved to be a serious and dangerous weapon. However, the conventional diesel engine limited their range and the length of possible dives. They were also extremely vulnerable during the necessary supply of fresh air for the engines via snorkels.

When the USA ushered in the nuclear submarine era with the nuclear-powered "Nautilus" in 1955, all of these disadvantages were over in one fell swoop and the large submarine fleets around the world had to follow suit.
