Like all Naval vessels, the term used for a Submarine's bathroom is a "Head".
The term "Head", in reference to a ship's toilet, was used at least as far back as 1708 on sailing vessels. It referred to the location of the ship's toilet, then located at the bow, or head, of the ship, under the bowsprit. It was located there as it was naturally washed by the ocean spray coming over the bow. The nautical term head, referring to the front or bow of a vessel, dates back to the early 1400's.
