For something that's pretty much indestructible, I'd say that's a fair tradeoff.

 

Nuclear submarines can, but that has nothing to do with being submarines and everything to do with being nuclear. Older diesel-electric submarines are usually slower than even the slowest surface vessels (aircraft carrier speed ~35 knots, top submarine speed ~25 knots) and can only stay underwater for a short amount of time. Since these subs are uh, coal-fired, it would be a bit weird to treat them as nuclear.

 

If you can't afford to shipping costs, build a ship to carry your sub around.

the issue is that it's impractical to even have a submarine. Even if you make a ship to carry your sub around you're going to need coal for that ship as well as the sub. I live on an island full of coal and it's expensive for me to move my sub around my docks, let alone anywhere else...

What Ymlong said... Also, I really don't want to argue war realism with you (because I don't know shit about it) but I thought Subs were self sustaining. They could travel constantly around the ocean, without stopping. These subs are low in speed and use a shit ton of fuel, even if they are for combat there is no chance you're catching anything. All that's left is scouting, but even that would be a waste and pointless. I think the iron and redstone is enough to really curve the amount of people building subs, the fuel is just a little too much in my opinion.

fuel cost being so high is why I don't use the sub BlackDutchie gave me. I'd rather use my coal for my yacht flagship if I'm going to spend coal to travel, which costs less AND is faster.

I just want to note that I use the C.B.S. Cobblestone so it should be listed as Active instead of Laid Up, the submarine isn't named yet but I currently do not use, and I've named my other skiff the Drone. Also I'd like to change the prefix of all of my ships to H.P.C.

Personally I don't see an issue with it if you replant. it's not like diamonds, where there is a certain limit within the world no matter what you do.
