A question of nomenclature, and definitely an interesting one at that.
People really need to look up the wiki before posting questions...
"A ship usually has enough size to carry its own boats, such as lifeboats, dinghies, or runabouts. A rule of thumb used is "a boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat". Consequently submarines are referred to as "boats", because early submarines were small enough to be carried aboard a ship in transit to distant waters."

Try this: ships have to be big enough to carry boats, and boats have to be small enough to be carried by ships.Lots more technical info on the site listed as source.
