A submarine! Militaries have used these sleek, silent vessels for more than one hundred years. The first effective submarine attack happened during the Civil War (1861-1865). The invention of the nuclear-powered submarine in the mid-twentieth century really made the boat famous. Subs are able to launch missiles, carry supplies, send warnings, and scout areas. While underwater, the submarine usually navigates by echolocation, or sound. A submarine dives and surfaces by filling ballast tanks with water or air. Draw your own diving sub. Draw a light, 1 long base oval. Add a center line. Follow the base oval to make an almost-complete hull, or 2 main body. At the opening, draw two vertical lines and a teardrop shape. Finish the sail with two more curved lines. 6 3 Use short lines and a small oval for the rudder and stern planes. Add a curved propeller line. 4 Carefully erase your baselines. Add a long horizontal marking and another small plane. 5 Now it’s time to color your submarine! 7 F How to Draw A ighter jet Great handling and intense speed make fighter jets amazing aircraft. These military machines have been created to carry weapons and carry out in-air combat. But battling isn’t all a fighter jet can do. Sleek designs allow jets to move through the air quickly while remaining less visible to other pilots, ships, and people on the ground. The F-22 Raptor is so fast that it can go supersonic. This means it can travel faster than the speed of sound. Design your own F-22 Raptor! 1 Lightly draw a base square and baseline. Add two curved lines. Draw a curved V shape between these. 2 Add an angled wing to each side. Use two longer, connected diagonal lines to draw each vertical fin. 8
