Best Answer

"Sub" means below. "Sub" means below. "Sub" means under (or below). "Marine" means sea (or water). Ergo, Submarine = Undersea, or Undersee in German. Underseeboot = Undersea Boat, or U-Boat for short. [Schnellboot = fast boat, or S-boat.] As a noun, submarine is a type of boat that can submerge, but as an adjective it can be used to describe anything which exists under the sea.
