Anechoic coating: A type of sonar-absorbing material applied to submarines to reduce their acoustic signature. It consists of rubber or other materials with properties that minimize sound reflection.

Anti-ship missiles are guided missiles designed to engage and destroy naval vessels. They are typically used by aircraft, ships, or submarines to attack enemy ships.

Cruise missiles are self-propelled, guided weapons launched from platforms like attack submarines (SSNs) to deliver warheads over long distances with precision.
