SUB

[Dave Hause]

FWIW, I think the current generation of American ones like the 2nd
pronunciation.  Surface types have been known to refer to them as
"bubbleheads."

I've been uncertain of the 'proper' pronunciation of this
"Sub-Mariner" since my childhood; I don't remember what I heard Namor
called back when. Dictionaries show both pronunciations
("submarine-er" and "sub-MARiner") for "submariner" = "submarine crewman".
