Nope! You don't have to use anything. Just as in any language, there is
always more than one way to talk about something. As long as you get the
message across, you have accomplished your goal.

If one wants to. In English we have the term "submersible boat", which may
be a good translation for {'oq'eghmoHbogh Duj}, which could even be
shortened to {'oq'eghmoHwI'} to refer to a bunch of machines.

No. I assume one could also say a {peb'ot Duj} since {Hurgh} are made from
{peb'ot} :D

Joking aside, you are free to use the words however you want to. It may
mean you need to explain yourself every now and then, but that's normal
communication. If you don't like a word, don't use it!

Always include the {bIQ} and it can be a "dark water vessel" :)

Perhaps that's how it was originally known, but then the {bIQ} got dropped
over time and "pickle ship" became the nickname.
