Arcer submarines saw a return to their traditional roles during the Final War of the Deluge, with extensive action against [[Varshan|Varshani]] Navy throughout the course of the conflict. Submarines were the first Arcer naval combatants to engage an enemy in open and armed conflict since the Second Great War. It saw the commitment of the entire Submarine Service, operating out of [[Joint Naval Station Leighton-Lennox]], which was at the time still under construction, and Arcerion operated out of leased bases from the [[Kiravian Armed Forces|Kiravian Navy]]. Arcer submarines primarily saw action between the Seneca Islands and Anta Carda, conducting commerce raiding, mine laying, and interdicting Varshani naval vessels. | Arcer submarines saw a return to their traditional roles during the Final War of the Deluge, with extensive action against [[Varshan|Varshani]] Navy throughout the course of the conflict.

No Arcer submarines were lost or damaged, and a sizeable amount of Varshani commercial and merchant marine shipping was lost to Arcer Submarine engagements during the course of the conflict. Due to the green-water and littoral nature of the service prior to the war, this was the first open water or 'blue-water' deployment on an extensive, and continual basis for much of the Arcer Naval Service. The result was in increased understanding of the difficulties and challenges of operating under such conditions, and required a rethinking of the Service's underway and at-sea replenishment of submarines. While the doctrine was not fundamentally changed, the Service acknowledge that it was considerably more difficult to conduct open sea missions of this nature. | No Arcer submarines were lost or damaged, and a sizeable amount of Varshani commercial and merchant marine shipping was lost to Arcer Submarine engagements during the course of the conflict.

The war against Varshan also saw the first employment of land-attack cruise missiles by the Submarine Service, with the ACS ''Gibson'' engaging several Varshani targets in the fall of 2020 as part of ongoing targeting of key Varshani infrastructure and command nodes. While submarine's activities are kept classified and not disclosed to the public, the [[government of Arcerion]] has acknowledged that members of the [[Royal Arcerion Naval Service]]/[[Arcerion Special Operations Command]]'s [[Arcerion Regiment of Marine Commandos|Marine Commandos]] were inserted for clandestine reconnaissance and direct-action missions during the course of the war. | The war against Varshan also saw the first employment of land-attack cruise missiles by the Submarine Service, with the ACS ''Gibson'' engaging several Varshani targets in the fall of 2020 as part of ongoing targeting of key Varshani infrastructure and command nodes.
