Speaking as a non-military person, I believe these have (far) more potential use as a military weapon, than a civilian submarine.
A civilian submarine would mean mass use, and would (inevitably) cause collisions between it, and living tissue in large sea animals.
However as a weapon that would not matter. It would be rare, and simply result in a miss for that shot. Just my take. I have no military background so this is just an opinion.
