  1.  @dwgray9000  "HMS Vanguard recently hit a underwater container." Ever wondered why cloaked Klingon ships look beaten up? :P

  2. Nuclear depth charges WERE invented and WERE tested for example during Operation Dominic, the Swordfish Test

  3.  @pnbrune  The Austro-Hungarian ( KuK ) Navy did have submarines, scoring a few hits on Antant ships, but since the Adriatic was more or less sealed during WWI and shipping there is done by smaller ships and smaller quantities, they did not achive the successess of their Atlantic cousins. If memory serves it was a KuK sub which had the first, submerged and successfull torpedo attack on the French Léon Gambetta armored cruiser. Another memorable fragment was, when - due to the modest range of the early boats - KuK Novara was towing one sub to the patrol area. The former ship was a fast scout cruiser, masquaraded to a mechant steamer with the addition of a fake, canvas funnel (where sailors were sent to pipe during their off time, probably more for morale purposes than camouflaging :) ). To complete a good story, a French destroyer hailed the ship, which probably was a very unpleasant surprise.
