{{StubOrksPortal}}[[Image:Ork Submersible.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Ork Submersible{{Fn|1}}]]Ork Sumbersible is thich hulled and crude submarine, heavy duty enough to negotiate even the harshest depths of oceans and storm-wrecked seas. They feature vast holds able to house large mobs of Ork infantry. The Ork Boyz who ride in bellies of Sumbersibles see them as huge aquatic [[Battlewagon]]s, and embrace the new type of attack with a cheerful attitude typical of all Greenskins around the Galaxy. When the vehicles emerges from the depths, usually behind enemy lines, its great metal doors grind open and whole mobs of Orks pour fourth, hooting and yelling as they splash through the swallows to engage the enemy from an unexpected quarter. Ork Submersibles are typically equipped with a bunch of torpedoes, artillery pieces, known as [[Seacannon]]s and sometimes a bunch of [[Big Shoota]]s with which they support deploying troops once they manoeuvred into position.{{Fn|1}}

== [[Third War for Armageddon]]. ==
This submarine was firstly constructed during this war and it had a great influence on the outcome. They were firstly used in a surprise assault on the [[Hive Tempestora]], and it was a complete success. Five submersibles were used, but they were enough. The Imperial stronghold was captured within several hours. Interestingly, the 6th submersible, the Orkilus, was crushed by an aquatic squid-like monster.<sup>1</sup>
