** It's worth mentioning that the cruiser submarine that caused the ban was the French Surcouf.''Surcouf''. Her internal storage and passenger bays were described for "prize collecting" personal and cargo and she even had a small boat explicitly intended for boarding. And she was named for a privateer. Subtle. The ''Surcouf'' also carried its own observation plane, potentially allowing for some crossover with SkyPirates.

* During the interwar period, there were some experiments with large submarines that could theoretically surface and force a ship to surrender and fork over extremely valuable cargo before sinking or possibly even capturing them. This would also avoid the whole "leaving people to drown" bit of submarine warfare that people find so objectionable. However, the various naval treaties eventually limited sub displacement putting an end to this line of thinking (along with concerns that an armed merchant ship could potentially sink a such a sub with a lucky hit).

* On ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'', the Mythbusters attempted to build a pirate submarine out of a rowboat. It failed because the rowboat was too buoyant. They estimated it would have required approximately 2000 lb (900 kg) of ballast to submerge it.
** The Mythbusters were actually testing the feasibility of trying to walk along the ocean floor using an upside down rowboat as an air pocket as seen in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'' and ''Film/TheCrimsonPirate'', not trying to make a true submarine.

Piracy is technically stealing and holding hostage. Simply sinking vessels during war doesn't count.

* During the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar, Italian submarines operating without identification -- in the words of one historian, as pirates -- sank several Soviet and other merchant ships attempting to bring weapons to the Loyalist side.
** This lead to an interesting case of InsistentTerminology: The European powers met to discuss how to address the acts of piracy, because said attacks were legally considered an [[ThisMeansWar act of war]], and [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom none of the European powers were ready to fight]] [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII the war which would likely result]] if the issue was addressed directly.
* During UsefulNotes/WorldWarI and UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, submarine crews on BOTH sides were often viewed this way by their respective adversaries since the whole point of submarines at the time was to disrupt shipping, and sink high value assets. Some navies went so far as to offer rewards both for information of sub activity [[note]] Especially before the Enigma machines were captured [[/note]], and for actively sinking particularly troublesome submarines.
** Oddly enough, the US Navy offered rewards to its own submarines during the Pacific Campaigns. Not for sinking enemy ships, but for retrieving downed pilots. Usually these rewards were snacks and goodies not normally stored on a Sub (due to the limited space), but in effect, the US Navy Submarines were ransoming off US Navy Pilots back to their home carriers. The only reason this worked out the way it did however is because part of the job of American Subs was to tail and report on Japanese fleet activity, and continue to do so even after a major strike for battle damage assessment; picking up downed pilots was not only practical for a sub, but extreme mercy for the pilot who could expect to be [[AFateWorseThanDeath tortured and mutilated if the Japanese plucked him out of the water]].
** Contrary to popular belief however, German U-Boats did not [[SinkTheLifeboats shoot the survivors of sunken ships]]--this belief was spread by Allied propaganda. Despite being ordered to do so by Hitler himself, many of the U-Boat Captains chose to ignore the order, and offer some aid to survivors, or just leave the area as fast as possible. The latter was more likely towards the end of war as tools for locating and sinking the U-Boats had gotten to be very effective, and the few times a U-Boat did manage to get a shot off, it didn't want to hang around very long afterwards before half a fleet zeroed in on its position.
*** One attempt at help went especially bad for German u-boats and was in part responsible for the cessation of most help: The Laconia Incident; A German u-boat had sunk RMS Laconia carrying 2732 passengers, women, children and [=POWs=]. The u-boat then tried to organize a rescue attempt and even managed to call in three other submarines (two German, one Italian) as well as neutral French vessels. The whole affair ended with the u-boat in question being bombed by American aircraft. The journal "International Law Studies" called the incident an allied war crime.
** The Japanese Sixth fleet actually issued explicit orders to LeaveNoSurvivors from torpedoed merchant ships in the Indian Ocean, ironically at the behest of the Germans. Approximately half of their submarine captains simply refused to obey these orders, most of the captains who did obey only did so once, and the orders were rescinded after those captains complained that the massacres were ruining morale. Surfacing to attack survivors in the Pacific would have been suicidal.
** There were some cases of early submariners being viewed this way by their ''own'' navies, due to the particularly underhanded tactics employed by submarines given their very nature. British sub crews embraced this, adopting the Jolly Roger flag as an unofficial insignia. It's a tradition for British subs to fly the flag when returning to port after a successful mission, and there's at least one instance of an American submarine doing the same during the WarOnTerror after a successful cruise missile attack on land-based targets.
