Can you call a submarine a ship?

Using the above guidance, submarines are technically ships. Yet they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were very small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate. But as they developed into larger vessels—and rightfully should have been called ships—the original term stuck.

Why are toilets called heads on boats?

At the front of the ship was the figure head: a carved wooden figure or bust fitted on the bow of the ship.

So, when the shipmates went to the toilet, they went to the head.

Can a submarine survive a tsunami?

Submarines are relatively unaffected by weather or tsunamis when submerged in deep open waters. Once a submarine is deep enough the conditions on the surface are not felt. However if a submarine has to go shallow or to periscope depth then conditions on the surface become a major concern.
