What is a Submarine?
A submarine is a large vessel that navigates the bottom of the sea in a hidden way, that is, it is not seen by means of satellites. The vehicle emerges or submerges causing an inequality between the weight force and the buoyancy force acting on it.
The constitution of a submarine is formed by batteries, hatch, electric generators, oxygen generator, propeller, ballast, rudders, engine, periscope, sonar and sail.
A submarine is normally used in a military way, but it can also have civil use.

Titanic Wreck
On September 1, 1985, after a long search, the wreckage of one of the most famous shipwrecks in history was discovered: the RMS Titanic, widely known not only for James Cameron's 1998 film adaptation of the story, but for the worldwide shock and commotion generated by the incident in 1912.
Altogether, there have been about 20 adaptations of the episode in movies, all trying to portray one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of navigation."
What was the Titanic ship
RMS Titanic was one of the largest and most luxurious passenger ships of its time. The Titanic, as it became known, was built in the early 20th century, in Northern Ireland, at the behest of the White Star Line company.
The ship's maiden voyage had more than 2,200 people on board, including passengers and crew, and left the port of Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, heading for the city of New York. Just four days later, however, the collision with an iceberg interrupted the course of the Titanic, which sank at dawn on April 15, 1912, causing 1500 fatalities.
