The Submarine Service, often referred to as the 'Silent Service' is a major offensive and sea denial component in the Arcer security strategy. It is comprised of two classes of diesel-electric submarines, and was founded in 1917 with the adoption of the first submarines into the Arcer Navy. All of Arcerion's submarines are considered SSN;s, or fleet attack submarines, designed to operate in the Malentine and Songun Seas, with a limited ability to conduct power projection operations into the Polynesian Sea through the Songun Straits. The Submarine Service also has the capability to conduct sea lane denial, using torpedoes, undersea-launched cruise missiles, and various types of sea mines. Submarines also operate on conjunction with the Arcerion Special Operations Command (ASOC), to insert and extract special operations teams, conduct strategic reconnaissance and gatehr signals and electronic intelligence using advanced sensor suites. They are also capable of using their integral land-attack cruise missiles in a conventional first-strike capability against a peer opponent.
As of 2026, the navy operated eight attack submarines, three of them the older Dolphin-class, and five the newer Sea Lion-class. The majority of these were deployed in the Songun Area of Operations (SAO), however news reports stated that the ACS Sea Lion, the lead ship of the newest Arcer submarine class, was spotted docked in Howland Governorate conducting Arctic Sea Trials and ice shelf breaching operations.
