a vessel that treats the ocean's crushing indifference as a personal challenge.
means a watercraft designed to operate fully underwater, usually smaller and less self-sufficient than a true submarine.
from from latin submergere, to plunge beneath — the word predates modern subs, first used for diving bells and bathyspheres in the 1700s and 1800s.
