 | | A submarine is a water craft capable of independent operation below the surface of the water. It differs from a submersible, which has only limited underwater capability. The term submarine most commonly refers to large crewed autonomous vessels; however, historically or more casually, submarine can also refer to medium sized or smaller vessels (midget submarines, wet subs), Remotely Operated Vehicles or robots. The word submarine was originally an adjective meaning "under the sea", and so consequently other uses such as "submarine engineering" or "submarine cable" may not actually refer to submarines at all. | |

Experimental sub with hydrofoils in Monterey Bay Submarines are referred to as "boats", regardless of their size, for historical reasons because vessels deployed from a ship are referred to as boats. citation needed The first submarines were launched in such a manner. The English term U-boat for a German submarine comes from the German word for submarine, U-boat, itself an abbreviation for Unterseeboot "undersea boat" |
