  1. Some do and some don't.  The ones for tourists and special underwater trips do.  Probably military ones do not.


  2. sure, and screen doors for those hot Mediterranean cruises too.  ;0)

    No, because of the water pressure at the depths a submarine operates at, they do not. However, Commercial subs that operate in shallower water do sometimes have viewports. But they limit the depth the sub can operate at.  Now a days, subs "see" by sonar, electronic and video means.

  3. It depends on the assignment of a submarine.

    Military subs don't have windows, they've periscopes. But nowadays there is no need to use it cuz of modern navigational equipement.

    Scientific and recreation subs have windows. They call them bull's eye or deadlight.

  4. Yes and no.  Tourist subs limited to 25 meters or less have viewports.  All military subs are lacking windows or ports  to see out of.  They do have Periscopes that allow them to see when very close to the surface  but only at surface targets (normal people call them ships).  Otherwise military subs "see" with sound.  That is called sonar.  The subs listen to the underwater world around them and can paint a picture of their surroundings.  I know that this answers your question.

  5. DUDE! Learn to write and spell, reading your question was like squirting lemon juice in my eyes!

    Shallow water subs can have portholes but the deeper the sub goes the more difficult and costly it is to put portholes in that would be safe.

  6. Yea! Its called a periscope.
