Submariners.
NO, they are called 'submariners' .
Nothing - the word "Boat" has been applied to Submarines since they were first used in the Revolutionary War, and the term has stuck with them since then. A "boat" in Naval parlance is any vessel that is launched from another ship or tender, such as a launch, whaleboat, etc. Early submarines required a support vessel (tender) to launch and recover them;though modern submarines don't require such, they do need support from tenders for supplies and repairs. Submariners always refer to their ships as boats, and not ships. The reason for this is that to submariners there are only 2 kinds of ships; Submarines, and Targets.
Hi Submariners use submarines as the name suggests, however they also use diving bells and R.O.V.s ( Robotic offshore Vehicles).
Submariners are often nicknamed "bubbleheads" due to the air bubbles that form when a submarine surfaces or when they are underwater, as well as referencing the unique environment of living underwater. This playful term reflects both camaraderie and the distinct lifestyle associated with serving on submarines. Additionally, they may also be referred to as "sub sailors" or simply "subs."
You just said it, "Submariners" or simply "crewmen."
In their history, submarines were called by many names such as 'U-boats', 'eel boats', 'plunging boats', 'devil divers', and 'pig boats'. Technically, and by size, the submarine is a ship, but it has been called a boat since its earliest days, and the term is steeped in tradition. Submariners almost invariably call their ships 'boats".
Submariners likely adapted to the smells of confined living spaces, as the olfactory system can habituate to persistent odors over time. Additionally, submarines are equipped with air filtration and purification systems to help manage and reduce unpleasant odors. Crew members also engage in regular cleaning routines to maintain hygiene and minimize sources of bad smells. Ultimately, the camaraderie and shared purpose among submariners may have helped them cope with the less pleasant aspects of their environment.
