* [[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).
