It is an allrounder, capable of hitting a wide spectrum of targets.

Since this is the (i), or Improved version, it is better than the older model which is somewhere on the Sporepedia in my creations...

Anyways, it is armed with:

Surface: Three pairs of 30 mm repeating cannons for engaging air or sea targets. Twelve Vertical Launch Missiles capable of hitting land or sea targets. Twenty eight flares. Four are in the launchers, and 24 are ready to load. These jam enemy heat seeking missiles. The flares also explode in a cloud of chaff (strips of metal) to jam radar guided missiles. Several shoulder fired Anti-Air/Anti-Ship/Anti-Sub missiles. These are stored in the armory of the ship, and can be fired by the crew. They are not normally seen on the deck, since they are man-portable and brought up only when a target is in range.

Submerged: Twenty four 125mm active/passive/wire guided torpedoes. Eight are loaded in the tubes, sixteen are held in racks. Eight active torpedo countermeasures. These create a cloud of bubbles in the water, which active torpedoes (ones that are homing on by using sonar to ping targets and lock on to them) perceive as the actual target. Eight passive torpedo countermeasures. These emit a broad spectrum of noise to confuse passive torpedoes (which listen for sound of a specific ship that is targeted and homes in on it) into aiming at it instead of the submarine itself.

Either: Crystal-Boosted Laser. The coup de grace of the entire submarine, it can be fired while surfaced or submerged. It takes one minute to charge, but unleashes a beam capable of travelling almost indefinately on the surface, and dozens of miles underwater. It can punch through thick steel.

Power: Nuclear reactor. This is a quiet fuel source that never needs refueling.

Hull: 6 inches of composite steel. The armor is laid in sheets one each thick each. The sheets in the middle carry a strong electric current to detonate armor piercing weapons early to minimize damage. The hull also has an ATDN (Active Threat Detection and Neutralization) system, which uses very well concealed micro lasers to simply fry and torpedoes that get too close. Only if the lasers are offline or fail to work does the hull need to take a blow.

Sensors: 48 sonobuoys. These are laid in the water and collect either active or passive sonar data and relay it to the ship. Two Sonar Arrays, one port, one starboard. These two systems combined give 360 degrees of coverage, with both active and passive sonar. Active sonar is not very stealthy, since it sends out loud pings which are easily picked up. This is only used in time-critical situations. Most of the time, passive sonar listens for ships and submarines, and does not compromise stealth. Passive sonar can also be used to identify the general class of other ships by listening to the frequency of the sound. One radar mast. This simply sends out radio waves, which bounce off objects and reutrn, which gives a good idea of what is around them. However, as with active sonar, radar gives away the the direction in which the submarine is when the radio wave is picked up by an enemy's Electromagnetic Sensors. One EM Sensor. This picks up radio waves, but also is enhanced to give a description of the possible classes of an enemy ship.
