%X A six degree of freedom (6-DOF) nonlinear mathematical model for a submarine is
proposed. Then, the problem of manoeuvrability control for this vehicle is formulated
as an unconstrained optimal control problem which is solved by using a gradient
descent method. Simulation results presented are rooted by two requirements which
are of a major importance in naval industry, and they are compared to a classical
linear model.
