   1. A submarine boat; a ship that can travel under the surface
      of the water. Most such ships are ships of war, as part of

      esp., Nav., a submarine torpedo boat; -- called specif.
      {submergible submarine} when capable of operating at

      under water, and {submersible submarine} when capable of
      being only partly submerged, i.e., so that the conning

      most of the former type are submerged as desired by
      regulating the amount of water admitted to the ballast
      tanks and sink on an even keel; some of the former type

      rudders, in some cases also with admission of water to the
      ballast tanks.
