A submarine gets under way. It has a sail and flies through the water. A boomer (SSBN) pokes holes in the ocean.
A submarine is commonly referred to as a boat. It does submerge and surface.
Common vernacular would be to "set sail". When the last line has been cast off and the boat is no longer tied to the pier, the word is passed on the 1MC (shipwide announcing system) that the boat is "under way".

A submarine does lots of things... it can sail (though not in the traditional sense) when above water. It can submerge (or dive) and weh submerged it can run on silent if it so wishes like a deadly leviathon of the ocean. The tear drop shape of modern submarines though probably makes the term "cutting" through the water most apt.
