Geocache Description:

There is no cache container at the posted coordinates. You will need to solve a puzzle to find the final container.

Submarines
Beware of the silence


Stealthy, agile and armed with some of the most powerful weapons on the planet, Navy submarines and their crews play a number of roles in both war and peace time: attack, surveillance, commando insertion, research and nuclear deterrence. 
 
The US Navy recognizes four classifications of Subs:


Attack Subs, capable of performing seek-and-destroy missions on enemy ships and subs, surveillance and reconnaissance, irregular warfare, covert troop insertion, mine and anti-mine operations and more.


Ballistic Missle Subs, also called "Boomers", built solely as strategic nuclear deterrence. Capable of operating underwater for months on end, Ballistic Missile Submarines require crews that can work together under any circumstance.


Guided Missile Subs, stealthy and powerful. They can carry over 150 cruise missiles plus transport and support Navy Special Operations forces.


Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles, which can perform underwater rescue operations on disabled submarines for the U.S. or foreign navies. They’re designed for quick deployment in the event of a submarine accident – transportable by truck, aircraft, ship or specially configured attack submarine. Many Sailors owe their lives to the capabilities of a DSRV and its crew.

To sink this submarine, you will need to find the 3 caches which indicate that they hit the submarine. Unscramble the letters to make a naval related word. Go to the Certitude link below, and enter that word into the solution. If you are correct, you will get the final coordinates to make the find on this cache.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
