What is the Arctic ocean?
The Arctic Ocean is a large expanse of water and ice covering the top of the planet, the ocean itself is mainly covered with ice most of the year round and it is impossible to map due to the ice shifting all the time, however the good news to submarine captains is this: it provides perfect cover no satellite, plane or helicopter can see or detect you and ships can’t really follow you only the ice breakers and they are few and far between! But a frigate or destroyer has no hope of getting you, which is good news all round right? Wrong of course there’s a snag! Another submarine can follow you, few nations have submarines but those who do have them use them wisely Russia, America, Great Britain and France all deploy or have deployed nuclear submarines at some point under the ice. Before the nuclear submarines the Artic Ocean was a no-go area but when Nautilus went down the slipway that changed the Artic Ocean was now accessible and it wasn’t long before Britain, France, China and Russia
