Humanity has been fascinated for a long time with going under the sea and this is epitomised in the Main/SubStory. Fiction and fact-based drama [[UsefulNotes/TypesOfNavalShips involving submarines]] has many advantages to it:

* You don't need to spend lots of money on sets or Main/StockFootage. You can create plenty of suspense with [[SensorSuspense just a scanner and a pinging sonar]].
* You can justify a Main/ShirtlessScene (Old submarines like German U-boats had no air conditioning and were very cramped and very hot).

* The ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' episode "Cat and Mouse" is pretty much a Sub Story InSpace. Anakin and his crew have to pilot a stealth ship (built long, narrow and cramped like a real sub, and armed with torpedoes for good measure) past a Separatist blockade under the command of a fearsomely clever admiral. The stealth ship cannot fire weapons without decloaking and is ''vastly'' outgunned by the blockade, requiring Anakin to use expert piloting and [[GuileHero guile]] to take out his foe.
