Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Like the ancient mariner.

I thought I knew the answer ... but the more I think on it the less I don't .
We need someone who who served on a Submarine ...
I'm thinking they are Sailor's .
My best guess would be pronounce like US Marine ...with an r on the end Submariner .
Pronunced like the Ancient Mariner ...sub - marr - eneer sounds Wonky ...but might be right .
... all this early morning thinking hurts my mind .

I pronounce it ---sub--mare-in-er
At our next QB meeting, I will ask one of the fellows that served on subs
According to Google/Youtube, it is pronounced marine-er.Originally Posted by Thumbcocker
It’s stands for person that has no screen doors.
Google/Youtube: A vast lake two inches deep!

One exception to pronunciation that might - repeat might - be valid is reference to a baseball pitcher whose specialty is the submarine ball. Carl Mays who fatally beaned Ray Chapman, Kent Tekulve, and others. KMOX radio broadcast St. Louis Cardinals' games when I went to school there. Cardinal game announcers and sports radio hosts nearly always pronounced such pitchers as sub-Marine-ers.

Squid!
Whatever!
I pronounce it ROLEX.
Maybe so. I did find this site on there. What do you make of that?
Come to think of it, Youtube videos have saved me thousands of dollars by giving me the information to make car and appliance repairs. It's not all bad.

I know we have at least one on the forum. Maybe he will chime in.
dont call one of them that. They tend to think its a separate branch of the service and dont much like being associated with the surface sailors.
It has varied across the years, depending on the era, both were acceptable

Agreed.... Son's recruiter was one and he pronounced it this way.

A guy in our gun club retired from the Navy after spending his career in submarines. He said it is submarine-er, and don't ever pronounce it any other way.
I pronounce the word like ADM Dykers did when he hosted the TV program "Silent Service".
(Don't know? Take a look, the shows are on Youtube.)
Gun control is not about guns.
Sorry . . . . but I heard the term is no longer politically correct as it can now be construed as gender biased . . . . Biden is now revamping the armed services as cupcake clubs and a submariner will now be referred to as "under-aquatictition".
