noun

U-Boote, Tauchboote

A term used primarily by some navies for nuclear submarines, termed "true submersibles", because they cannot retroactively declare that their non-nuclear submarines should be called by a different name.

Examples :

"The naval historian explained that only nuclear-powered submarines are sometimes called "submersibles" to distinguish them from conventional submarines that need to surface frequently. "

Der Marinehistoriker erklärte, dass nur nuklearbetriebene U-Boote manchmal als „Tauchboote“ bezeichnet werden, um sie von konventionellen U-Booten zu unterscheiden, die häufig auftauchen müssen.
