underwater vehicles
Ocean-going submersible machines
Underwater vehicles are craft designed to operate beneath the water's surface.
The term encompasses submarines, submersibles, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Manned submarines can travel independently for extended periods, while submersibles typically require a support ship.
Unmanned underwater vehicles, controlled remotely or autonomously, are used for deep-sea exploration, pipeline inspection, and military applications: The underwater vehicle descended to survey the wreck.
