I
know there are four basic status of submarines. I want to know the official terms of them. 1) Completely
submerged. Everything is under the sea. Deep diving. 2) Periscope
depth. Everything is under the sea except for periscopes,
antennas for Radar ECM or Communications and snorkel. 3) Fairwater depth??? I want to know the official term of this status. I see a
submarine’s hull is totally under the sea, but major part of the sail is above
the water including sail planes. I often
observe this state of a submarine while degaussing in the calm water. I think MBTs may be fully flooded. 4) Surfacing.
Totally rises to the surface. All the
MBTs are filled with air. I
want to know the official English terms to explain these four basic status of
submarines. I apologize if these terms
are classified, but I believe they are not. I
don’t expect someone can understand Japanese here, but status number 3 is
called “浸洗状態” in Japanese. I
would appreciate it very much if someone would tell me those terms, especially the
status number 3. Thank
you in advance. |

I would suggest you find a Japanese submarine officer to discuss this with.

I tried first, however, the Japanese submariner admiral, a friend of mine, said that he
did not have an authorization to inform English translations to me. So I asked in this BBS. Help me, please, or those are classified information? |

It is not known as the Silent Service for nothing. If an Admiral from your country won't share the information, what makes you even believe we would?

Hiroshi, please understand that we must - by necessity - be evasive with the answers to your questions. It's not that we don't want to share this information, we can't.
Like the Japanese Admiral said, we are not authorized to share this information, therefore, we must remain silent. Sorry.

Hiroshi, the terms you're looking for no longer apply to modern boats. They leave port, submerge, patrol the depths, surface and return to port. http://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/submarine.htm

The terms for these are not classified but are old and some are not in standard usage.
1. Fully submerged 2. Periscope depth 3. Flooded down. Modern submarines do not operate this way anymore. It was once a preparatory stage for diving and was used up until the mid 1950s Started out mainly as a means of diving quickly to avoid aircraft threats. 4. Surfaced |

I for one have got to wonder why his friend, a Japanese Admiral, didn't provide this information to him? That is the question.
