International Submarine Day
When is International Submarine Day? This holiday is always celebrated on March 17
International Submarine Day …. does it celebrate the submersible boat or the big hero sandwich? Almost everywhere you find documentation on this day, it hails today as a day to celebrate the boat we commonly call a “sub”. We are certain National Submarine Day, celebrated on April 11, is about military boats, as the U.S. Submarine Force was established on this date in 1900. That leaves us wondering what this March 17 holiday is all about. Perhaps, it is in celebration of hero subs!?
If you work at a deli, it’s perfectly okay to celebrate today with a hero sub of your choice. If you own the deli, give us a deal and run a Sub day special. And in this case, celebrate this March 17 holiday.
International How to Celebrate Submarine Day
Enjoy Submarine Day by:
- Watching movies featuring submarines.
- While you watch the movie, eat a submarine sandwich.
- Reading a book about submarines.
- If you live near a naval museum, take a drive to see a submarine today, and if allowed, go aboard.

History and Origin of International Submarine Day
We ordered “Up Periscope” as we studied the history of this holiday. However, our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. We found a number of isolated and local events declared to be Submarine Day. The United Kingdom appears to be the most active country with Submarine Day celebrations.
While most references suggest this holiday is about the underwater boat, we were not able to conclusively rule out the possibility that this holiday was about the sub sandwich.
