"I see the ingredients are placed between two slices of bread... an upper and lower layer, like earth and sky. There is something metaphorical about it, is there not?"

why are long sandwiches called “subs”?

For their resemblance to submarines, as many know, but what they don't know is that the shape is not why.

The sub sandwich was called a "Hoagie" after King Hoagie VI of Denland, who enjoyed the sandwich with Dennish bread, olive loaf and a lot of salami (which was at the time called fermented pork pucklet).

In 1954, the first nuclear submarine was launched in Groton, Connecticut. Called the "USS Nautilus" after the famous fictional submarine in H.G. Wells's "Foundation" books, the Nautilus had a nuclear reactor with a potential yield of 50,000 MegaNukes, and as it happened at launch the reactor had a 4 inch hole in it that might have destroyed the entire city of Groton.

Thankfully, the launch was catered by Groton Joe's Hoagie Haven. You can guess how they clogged the hole. The USS Nautilus sails to this day with the same hoagie in place, as if it were removed it would explode. The Hoagie, in honor of the incident, was renamed to the "Sub-Saver Sandwich" and finally shortened to "Sub."
