Anyway, I haven't reread this old thread, but I believe the idea was still that the submarine was capable of transport, like I suggested. This means it could have three important weapons 1) Anti-surface weaponry such as torpedoes. 2) Anti-land weaponry such as missiles 3) Elite soldier formations, such as Space Marine scouts, Imperial storm troopers and saboteurs, etc.
Other than orks, I don't know of any aliens who are known to use nautical vessels such as boats or submarines. Then again, the machines of the Ordinatii are unique, usually built for a special occassion, so this wasn't necessarily built as a long-term investment. It could have been built to take out a single ship / platform / underwater base / whatever.

On who uses aquatic vehicles is still debatable.
I mean I could see the Imperium using ships and submarines, same goes for Orks and Chaos (traitor guard, cults).
Tyranids would probably have aquatic creatures as well, some sort of "Nid Fish".
Tau and Eldar: I assume that their vehicles are capable of going under water.
Only thing that remains a mystery are the Necrons, but they would probably blow up the whole planet or somehow vaporize all the water on the planet.
