NAVY-SUBMARINES 2 LST

The midgets, sources said, will have the capability of
carrying out both manned and unmanned operations and will be
equipped with a host of weapons including torpedoes.
Due to their faster speed and smaller size, midgets are
able to escape the enemy Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR)
probes making them useful in carrying out covert operations,
they said, and help troops to penetrate into hostile territory
without getting noticed by enemies.
These submarines, sources said, would be capable of being
launched independently or being attached with larger mother
submarines.
Midgets can be taken close to far-off enemy areas by
attaching them with conventional submarines and can be
launched once they are close to the area of operation.
The midgets can also be deployed along the coastal areas
to keep a check on the suspicious activities close to the
shores. PTI
