There's an underwater glider kind of semi-autonomous ROV too, looks more like a tropedo with abnormally huge fins.
I tried searching for articles on it, sadly, couldn't find any.

Couldnt this also be called a hydroplane.  :headscratch:
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

Nope :P
"A hydroplane (or hydro, or thunderboat) is a fast motorboat, where the hull shape is such that at speed, the weight of the boat is supported by planing forces, rather than simple buoyancy."

This is a very fast submersible..
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

also for steeamlining
drag is a frictional force exerted by liquids and gases for reducing this force streamlining is used

read it from my science t.b.

Oh nice. I thought that as anwar sir called it a underwater airplane it could be also called a hydroplane, unfortunately that term already describes another water vehicle.

I don't understand the "plane" part in Aeroplane and Hydroplane. Aerofoils/Hydrofoils don't really have a plane surface.  ???

"Plane" here refers to the way these vehicles move skimming the surface of the water. Like skipping stones on a pond :D
