'''Submarines''' ([[SS]], also including '''"Aircraft Carrying Submarines"''' [[SSV]]) are characterized by relatively low armor and HP. BY contrast, they are difficult to handle using normal "anti-ship" setups, requiring instead specific '''Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)''' equipment and setups in order to be sunked. Submarine are typically found at pre-boss nodes.

During sorties, submarines are typically found at pre-boss nodes, but some can be boss themselves, see ''[[Enemy#Bosses (SS)|here]]''.

** The exception to this rule is when a battle starts at night, or when in a combined fleet

*Cannot take more than scratch damage during night battle,

*ASW attacks is the only to have a damage modifier above 1 with some formation(Diamond, Echelon, Line-Abreast)

**'''Therefore they cannot be sunk at night''',

 

**The exception to this rule is when a battle starts at night, or when attacking with a [[Combined Fleet]].

ASW attacks are the only way to obtain any damage modifier above 1 with some formation (Diamond, Echelon, Line-Abreast).
