Naval warfare in a nutshell

Warships, Submarines

This meme uses a humorous visual analogy to sum up naval warfare. It features a photograph taken in an indoor swimming pool. In the background, a woman stands in the water with most of her upper body visible above the surface, labeled 'Warships' to represent how surface warships sit mostly above the water. In the foreground, a person stands fully submerged except for a clear plastic container covering their head that sits just above the water line; this figure is labeled 'Submarines', as the container resembles a submarine's conning tower, the only part of a submarine typically visible above the surface when it is surfaced. The joke simplifies the core visual difference between the two types of naval vessels for comedic effect.

This meme was obtained from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as stated in the provided source metadata. It is a remixed edit of a pre-existing viral swimming pool photo: editors added text labels identifying the two people as warships and submarines, and edited a popular internet meme face onto the foreground person to amplify the comedic effect of the naval comparison.
