    Submarines are ships that travel underwater. The first submarine was built in 1620 and was made of wood and leather. During World War I, submarines were around 54 feet long and had a top speed of 6 knots, armed only with torpedoes. Modern submarines can be over 300 feet long, travel at around 28 knots, and are equipped with torpedoes and missile systems, called attack subs. Germany's submarines in World War I were known as U-boats and played a major role by sinking ships like the Lusitania, bringing the United States into the war.
