Submarine are characterized by low armor and HP. However they are difficult to handle using normal anti-ship setups and require specific '''Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW)''' equipments and setups in order to be sunked. Submarine are typically found at pre-boss nodes.

==Attack Behavior==
*They cannot be targeted by normal shelling attack
*They cannot be targeted by normal shellign attack
*Submarine are immune to air and torpedo attack.
*They can only be damaged by ASW attacks
* Submarines cannot take more than scratch damage at night '''and therefore cannot be sunk'''.
*They cannot be sink at night in single fleet, only a combine fleet can.
** The exception to this rule is when a battle starts at night, or when in a combined fleet
** The exception being the night battle node
*ASW attacks is the only to have a damage modifier above 1 with some formation(Diamond, Echelon, Line-Abreast)

** However, base ASW is the primary determinant of whether a ship can reach 100 total ASW to perform opening ASW attacks.

*LBAS plane with 7 or more {{ASW}} ASW can attack submarine durinth this phase
*ASW capable planes will prioritize submarines while the others will attacks surface target.

*Most ship that can attack submarine can under some condition perform an Opening ASW attack
**this is very important for multiple reason:
***this add an ASW attack
*** this allow to sink Submarien before they do O-torp
*** this allow to kill the sub before other ship not equiped with ASW set-up target it
* As performing an opening attack effectively doubles the damage output, reaching this OASW threshold is in general more important than tacking on additional synergy.

* If a CVL is present, plane with {{ASW}} ASW will attack submarine regardless of the ship on which it's equiped
