Did you read the ad blurb for it? Here's the first sentence:
"Destroy enemy coral reefs!"
Watch out for those sneaky sponges too.
"Chase your sister in the pool! " My little sister would have destroyed
it
and sent to the bottom.

I believe toy and model subs are quite appropriate. It's been brought up
more than a few times by others. After all, space and the final frontiers
aren't under the sea or in the cosmos, it's the space between your ears
and the imagination that fills it and pSubs is a fine example of people
who had toys and built models and turned imagination into reality.
Perhaps
there's a kid[s] lurking on the forum soaking up all the knowledge
presented
here and one day step in with a good question or good idea.

"Sub Mission
Destroy enemy coral reefs! Chase your sister in the pool! Do it all with
our motorized battery-operated submarine that cruises and dives! 13"
long, detailed blue-grey and red plastic with steering rudder and
adjustable diving plates. It's a WWII-era Balao/Gato class attack sub,
and it's really cool! Needs (1) AA, not included."
