当人们提及“潜艇”这个词的时候,在大多数人的心目中形成的突出印象便是从隐蔽在大海深处悄无声响的潜艇中发射出来的鱼雷。的确,在现代潜艇一个多世纪的发展过程中,鱼雷一直是潜艇首选的武器装备。然而,当人们环顾如今的世界各国海军时可以发现,目前虽然潜艇仍以鱼雷为其基本武器装备,但是,随着技术的发展,导弹已经装备在越来越多国家的潜艇上。潜艇装备了各种导殚武器之后,大幅度地增强了它们的作战能力。因此,鱼雷作为潜艇的传统武器装备日益受到了导弹的严峻挑战。在今后若干年的时间里,鱼雷和导弹,究竟谁将会成为潜艇的主要武器装备,这是令世界许多国家密切关注并高度重视的一个问题。 When people refer to the word “submarine,” the salient impression in most people’s minds comes from the torpedo that was concealed in the silent submarine deep in the ocean. Indeed, during the more than a century of modern submarine development, torpedoes have been the weapon of choice for submarines. However, when people look around the navies of all countries in the world today, they can find that although the submarine still uses torpedoes as its basic weapon and equipment, as the technology has been developed, the missiles have been deployed on more and more submarines in the world. Submarines equipped with a variety of guided weapons, a substantial increase in their combat capability. As a result, torpedoes, as the traditional weaponry of submarines, are increasingly challenged by missiles. In the coming years, torpedoes and missiles, who exactly will become the main weapon and equipment for the submarine, pose a problem that many countries in the world pay close attention to and attach great importance to.
