Two principal factors causing the reduction in surface speed of submarine are cavitation and drag.Drag The modern submarines are designed to operate fully submerged, so they have less drag when submerged than on the surface. There is more than one...

Guided missiles work by tracking the moving target's location in space by specific methods (e.g. using a radar or following its heat signature), chasing it down, and finally hitting it with accuracy. Guidance systems in missiles can be of various types,...
