Answer 4

They are very different in a lot of ways

Answer 5

I guess it depends. In WW2, they were called U-boats. They spent most of their time on the surface because battery power was used sparingly went they went underwater to avoid detection or perform a torpedo run.

After WW2, we finally developed what some would call "true" submarines that could stay underwater for a very long time. But I've heard military people refer to them as "boats" all the same even if they're not like yachts or sailboats.

Answer 6

Yeah, The term "Boat" used to reference Submarines goes back to the very earliest submarine designs. A "Boat" is a term used for a vessel launched from a Ship, Submarines were first designed during the days of wooden sailing vessels, and were launched like any other boat from the ship.
