Submarines in Arcerion predominantly focus on two main mission sets, that being sea lane denial, and subsurface warfare (torpedoes/mines). The first of these missions is focused on maintaining Arcer sovereignty and freedom of movement for the [[Warrington Strait|Warrington]] and Songun Straits. In doing so, the submarines regularly practice the ability to attack merchant shipping, support and logistics vessels of foreign merchant marine services, and the engagement of enemy submarines conducting similar missions. This is also related to the heavy emphasis that the Arcer government and Naval Service Headquarters places on the use of torpedoes and sea mines. The submarines have a variety of sea mines, both predominantly use moored-mines for denying access to ports or shallow-water interdiction of ships, and torpedo mines that lay on the seabed until they recognize the sound signature of an enemy surface vessel and are deployed to engage. Limpet mines are also frequently exercised with the Marine Commandos, and Arcer subs serve as the launch and recovery vessel of choice for such Commando operations. | Submarines in Arcerion predominantly focus on two main mission sets, that being sea lane denial, and subsurface warfare (torpedoes/mines).

Depsite the traditional Arcer distaste of pirates and seafaring marauders due to the historical association with indigenous pirates in the Malentine Sea, the Submarine Service opted to coopt the use of the Jolly Roger as its unofficial banner and ship's flag during the Second Great War.
