Submarine
A
submarine is a
watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. It differs from a
submersible, which has more limited underwater capability. The term most commonly refers to a large, crewed, autonomous vessel. It is also sometimes used historically or colloquially to refer to
remotely operated vehicles and
robots, as well as medium-sized or smaller vessels, such as the
midget submarine and the
wet sub. Used as an adjective in phrases such as
submarine cable, "submarine" means "under the sea". The noun
submarine evolved as a shortened form of
submarine boat (and is often further shortened to
sub). For reasons of
naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as "
boats" rather than as "
ships", regardless of their size.
