Humanity has been fascinated for a long time with going under the sea and this is epitomised in the [['''Sub Story]]'''. Fiction and fact-based drama [[Types of Naval Ships|involving submarines]] has many advantages to it:
 
* You don't need to spend lots of money on sets or [[Stock Footage]]. You can create plenty of suspense with [[Sensor Suspense|just a scanner and a pinging sonar]].
Line 18:
* [[History of Naval Warfare|Historical settings]] like the [[Cold War]] or [[World War II]] lend plausibility to the story; with all the secrecy back then, an adventure that took place hidden under the ocean seems like it really could have happened.
 
Many of these are [[During the War]], but they don't have to be. Indeed they don't even have to involve the military. They don't ''even'' have to be underwater, as [[Space Is an Ocean]] means that fictional spaceships will often behave like subs. Films such as ''The Fantastic Voyage'' and ''[[The Core]]'' have recycled [['''Sub Story]]''' tropes in more fantastical settings ([[Fantastic Voyage Plot|a man's bloodstream]] and [[Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid|the Earth's mantle]], respectively).
 
Home of many a [[Cool Boat]] with a [[Badass Crew]]. Expect at least one [[Silent Running Mode]] scene.
