noun

Submarinos

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. "

El historiador naval explicó que solo los submarinos de propulsión nuclear a veces se denominan "submarinos" para distinguirlos de los submarinos convencionales que necesitan salir a la superficie con frecuencia.
