The submarine submerged//merged into the sea

The submarine submerged when an enemy destroyer was spotted.

Hi,
Is it equal to say "merged into the sea" instead of "submerged?" Thanks.

Hi, Definitely not. The dominant part of the word 'submerge' is 'sub', which means 'under'. Say 'submerge'.

Thanks, Clive.

I want to make sure how to use "merge" right. Is it all right to say "merged under the water/sea?"
