Were submarine sandwiches invented in a submarine?

No, they were not. They got the name because they resemble the shape of a submarine. These types of sandwiches are also called grinders and hoagies. They recently have become known as 'subways.' However - I believe the term was invented very near to the first modern submarine. My grandfather, Dominick Berenato (born 1898) told me that his mother made and sold coldcut sandwiches in long loaf Italian bread (I think it was from the Formica Bakery) in her Atlantic City grocery store in the early 1900's. He told me that people saw a picture of an experimental submarine in the Atlantic City paper and told my grandmother that her sandwiches looked like the submarinen in the picture, and people started calling them submarine sandwiches after that. I subsequently learned that the inventor of the modern submarine, Simon Lake, did his work in a location right behind Atlantic City and he tested his submarines in the Bay there. One of the bays behind Atlantic City is called Lake's Bay, and Simon Lake's work and life in the Atlantic CIty area is well documented. I believe this to be the most likely origin of the term submarine sandwich. So, although the sandwich wasn't invented in a submarine, the first submarine and the first submarine sandwich are probably very close cousins.
