The submarine was the first technologically 'stealthy' weapon system. Its great value, indeed its mystique, lies in its invisibility, and much of submarine technology is intended to preserve that invisibility in the face of in¬creasingly sophisticated means of submarine detection. Submarine tactics and doctrine are often traceable to just that quality of stealthiness. Paradoxically, the submarine commander must shed his cloak in order to perform most of his missions. For example, a submarine reveals itself when it attacks its target.
