A sub is a metal shell, like a Faraday cage, so I think it’d be unaffected.

A sub is a metal shell, like a Faraday cage, so I think it’d be unaffected. Plus you have a lot of conductive salt water surrounding it serving the same purpose. I would expect a submerged sub would be the safest place during an EMP attack.

It’s true that a metal shell will shield EM radiation, but any antenna will conduct the EM inside where it can fry delicate electronics.

Not to mention the water that would absorb and dissipate all of the EMP.
