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.

Maybe {Hurgh Duj} originally referred to submarines or blimps and they started calling pickled peb'ots "submarines".

Maybe Klingon submarines were originally called {peb'ot Duj}, but the Klingon oceans are so salty that they came back to port covered in brine.

Maybe peb'otmey can grow much larger than we ever imagined, and the first Klingon submarine was a hollowed-out yoq-sized peb'ot which was substantially transformed after extended submersion in the bIQ'a' na', simultaneously inventing both the submarine *and* the pickle.
