I know that there are other screenshot threads for Submarines, but this thread is specifically for sharing your .craft file. Please don't just share screenshots. Mods, feel free to merge this or close it if you feel it is too close to the other threads. I am working on my submarine now.

1.0.5? I'm the First Sea Lord! I was making submarines with Gaby's Sub mod back in 0.13, and this was a sub I made in 0.90 that uses SAS turbine to propel itself.....

Yeah, 1.0.5 is preferred. I'll add that to the title.

Oh wait, it was already there...

I'd like to ask, is there any particular secret to making subs? My testing has so far been proving fruitless.

Add lots of ore tanks. They have negative buoyancy, so if you have enough on, it will sink. I made a working submarine today, and it also had a lot of reaction wheels in it so it could easily point downwards, allowing the engine to push it underwater.

Ah, ore tanks, ok then. I was just using full fuel tanks and downward facing engines to try to get the job done. Although I think I may have made a working design with my method, still trying to test it.

I had a stock working sub on 1.0.4, now it's becomes useless.

I gotta tell you ... them ore tanks, you need an awful lot of them.

Anyone interested in a simple mod which is just four .cfg files? It makes building controllable subs really easy.

Yes I am

I'll continue work when I get home.

In the mean time, here's my work in progress, but probably a release after 1.1 due to part count (it's 600 while I still need to build navigation, crew sleeping quarters, galley, forward & aft storage rooms, mess hall, engine room, aft missile/VTOL bay, captain's ready room, briefing room and bathroom(subject to change)). Length: approx. 100m.

I made a micro-sub, called the Nemo-class.

It features seating for one, a rear docking port, and an "Abort" function that dumps all the clipped-in Ore (used for ballast) for emergency ascents. I plan on making a MK2 with RCS for more precise docking.

Well, I'm not going to post a craft file for this as I'm not sure it's good enough for a release (yet), but I have some pictures!

It's called the Flying Fish because of how high it jumps when you surface it. It's modeled after the bathyscaphe Trieste, which achieved the deepest dive in history when it descended to the bottom of the Challenger Deep.

Ooh I can't wait to build some subs now. I think I could make a mini jet propeller version too.

Also, I should mention there is a Vessel Mover mod that allows you to pick up your craft and move it to the water easily if you don't want to use HyperEdit. I haven't tested it over water but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Hey People! I was bored last night so I made this Stock Submarine with Mk2 Parts and a re-usable Missile bay. I would put it in the water using hack gravity. I am working on some other missiles, a missile boat, and an aircraft carrier. I'll post those later. I have not tested it that much, the most I've gotten to was 5 m/s in the water. In KSP 1.1.5

1 toggles dive motors, 2 toggles ascent motors, 3 toggles forward motors, 4 toggles reverse motors (Use sparingly), 9 toggles bay doors, 0 launches missile.
