What did they use to call submarines?

Submarines were historically referred to as "submersibles" or "undersea boats." In naval terminology, they were often called "U-boats," particularly in reference to German submarines used during World War I and II. Additionally, the term "submarine" itself, derived from the Latin "sub" (under) and "marinus" (of the sea), became the standard designation for these underwater vessels.
