I once, in my Seaman Apprentice days, asked a former COB of the USS Ethan Allen what is was like to serve on such a "ship." He glared and said "Submarines are boats. Not ships. And boats are boats. And ships are targets."
I didn't have the guts to point that the Allen was a ballistic missile platform and, so, unlikely to target ships.
But I did learn that if you think a sub is not a boat, submariners get real in your face.
