During WWII the Finnish navy operated five small submarines, all designed in the Netherlands (by a Dutch front company) and built in Finland. Between them they sank one Soviet merchant ship and three Soviet submarines. All Finnish subs survived the war.
The Japanese used mini-submarines. Very small submarines housing only a few men. The attack on Pearl Harbor itself was mostly an air raid. There were five mini subs that launched in total. It is believed that only two actually entered the harbor and that only one released a torpedo.
Small ships are usually called boats.
Early in the war, merchant ships carrying supplies to both Russia and Britain were targeted heavily by German U-Boats(submarines). Since there were not enough destroyers and destroyer escorts to protect each individual ship, convoys were formed. In these convoys, merchant ships were grouped together and protected by a small number of escort vessels

they can be in different sizes such as being long or short or huge and small
