Marine means water or ocean or sea or the like. The prefix "sub-" means underneath or below or lower. So submarine means under water. Changing the prefix of submarine to make a word opposite in meaning would be to replace the prefix with a prefix that means higher or above or over. And "super-" is the prefix that fits the bill. The word supermarine would mean above water.
The term submarine combines the term "marine" and the prefix "sub" to form the word. Marine is a term that applies to the ocean or the sea, and the prefix sub means beneath or below. The submarine operates beneath the sea.
Most likely, the sub part of submarine means a sub (long thin sandwich, like a hot dog bun but longer) and the marine part means something like fish or seafood.
