The Trident crews still call them 'Boats' regardless !!  Man they are BIG
when out of the water.

Guys,

Referring to the 'a boat is a vessel that can be carried on a ship'
concept...  Consider, under normal circumstances what 'ship' would carry a
submarine.  Our LA'a, VA's and OH's can carry the DSRV's, and we call them
ships so that seems to fit the mold well.  I have heard the term 'boat' and
'ship' used often, referring to the same vessel in each instance...  'Back
to the boat', 'surface the ship...'  This seems to be one of those terms
that will keep its origin obscured for a while, though the answers I've seen
are funny, smart and historical...maybe.

Yep!
 
    A boat is anything that can be placed on a ship.
   With this definition, many of the smaller ships such as destroyers and
fast frigates would be boats also in that these would fit within a floating
dry dock. Although most floating dry docks are towed to the intended use
location having no propulsion of their own, these are still referred to as
ships.
   I do not know for sure if the larger Trident class submarine due to its
enormous displacement and overall size will still fit in such a mobile dock.
If these do not, these then are the first submarines aside from the Russian
Typhoon class to be actual ships.
