To discuss this, we have the noun {wab} "sound, noise" available but
no simple word for a submarine.  We'd need to describe it, e.g.
*{bIQ'a' bIngDaq lengbogh (lengmeH) Duj}.

"Beneath the ocean" is an English idiom that may or may not exist in Klingon. A submarine travels IN the ocean, not beneath it.

The trouble is, of course, that -Daq combines "in" and "on"...
