noun

核潜艇

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. "

海军历史学家解释说，只有核动力潜艇有时被称为“真正的潜艇”(submersibles)，这是为了将它们与需要频繁浮出水面的常规潜艇区分开来。
