Yeah, I knew they were...I was looking at a picture of the WWII sub, the "Wahoo," found recently. The word boat seems fit enough for her, but these days the things are apparently really getting huge.

American WWII sub:

The Russian 941 Typhoon class is so large it has room for a ceramic tile lined spa, or small swimming pool, in it. I can't find a link to a picture of its spa right now, but it was large enough to be out of place on any Western warship.

Yes, the difference is huge. I've dined as a guest on a modern sub - - plenty of room to walk around. In the past year I've watched the two greatest submarine movies ever made, Run Silent Run Deep and Das Boot. The guys that manned such craft in WWII were brave warriors indeed.
