Actually we say there are only two types of vessels submarines and targets.
Ships on the surface. Submarines are called boats.

I worked for the Navy for 8 years, and I know a lot of aviators that would violently disagree with this analysis. Aircraft cannot take off from a sub. In a full scale war with China or Russia, this analysis has a lot of validity, but the likelihood of such a war is remote. We still need surface ships and carriers to extend our power to protect our forces, allies and the sea lanes from all the other bad guys in the world.

What submariners don’t say is that submarines are targets.
