Abstract
This paper discusses the difference between the manual control and the automatic control of the navigational depth and attitude angle of the submarine. Starting with the equations of the longitudinal motion of the submarine, the transfer functions and the characteristic equations are calculated for several cases. The conclusions are that the control system, in which the control surfaces are connected with a definite positive ratio, is the most practical and suitable for the automatic depth control system or the joystick system, and also that in the case of the two-man control, the stern operatar must be the main controller and be very skilful.
