Whether you've been in the service or not, you've got to admit, submarines are some of the most impressive, advanced, beautiful, and deadly machines ever made. From the diesel-electric submarines of WWII to the huge and powerful nuclear-powered attack submarines and 'boomers' of today, these machines are a site to behold, and that's what we're all about here at SubmarineGallery.com.
The goal of this little site is to pay visual tribute to all submarines and submariners. We collect, archive, and display photos/images of submarines.
How can you help?
We're here to help you get the pictures of the submarine where you served on the net, in a place where they'll remain untouched, and backed up. If you would like to add an image to an existing submarine photo gallery, feel free to send it along to the webmaster, being sure to tell us the name and number of the submarine. Likewise, if we don't yet have a gallery setup for your boat, send us any and all submarine pictures you have (to the same email address mentioned previously) and we'll get a gallery up and running for you as soon as possible.
ATTENTION WWII SUBMARINERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!
The Greatest Generation of submariners is quickly fading away, and it would be a shame if excellent photos of those men and their beloved submarines sat in old photo albums and boxes, unavailable to the generations to come. If you have photos of these sailers and/or their boats, send them along to us and we'll display them for all to see. If you're not sure about how to send them, or just need help, send us an email, and we'll do everything we can to lend a hand.
Oops, we messed up!
Believe it or not, we make mistakes on occasion, and we'd be glad to have you correct our missteps. if you notice an image (or a group of images even) that are mislabeled or otherwise incorrect, please send us an email and we'll make corrections as soon as possible.
Thanks to everyone, and enjoy your visit!

Submarine fast facts:
A submarine is a watercraft that can operate underwater at pressures beyond the range of unaided human survivability. Submarines, first widely used in World War I, are used by all major navies today. Civilian submarines and submersibles are used for marine and freshwater science and for work at depths too great for human divers. Submarines are typically referred to as "boats" even though most modern submarines should technically be called "ships". The term U-Boat is sometimes used for German submarines in English. This comes from the German word for submarine, 'U-Boot', itself an abbreviation for Unterseeboot ('undersea boat'). The vertical structure, usually located amidships, houses communications and sensing devices as well as periscopes. In the United States Navy it is called the "sail", not the "conning tower", a term associated with German submarines. (Actually, even US submarines until the advent of nuclear powered boats used conning towers, primarily for periscope depth torpedo attacks).
Submarines encompass one of the largest ranges in capabilities of any vessel. They range from small one- or two-man vessels that can examine the sea floor for a few hours to the Russian Typhoon class, which can remain submerged for 6 months and carry nuclear missiles capable of destroying multiple cities. There are also specialized submarines such as rescue submarines (like the DSRV or Priz) and tiny one-person human powered subs intended for competitions between universities. An older device for use in underwater exploration, salvage, construction and rescue is the diving bell. A specialized form of submarine capable of extremely deep dives is the bathyscaphe.
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'.
