A submarine is not nature, but man-made.  And (traditional) haiku is supposed to be something actually observed by the poet; this was not.  

I spent four years of my life working on a submarine.   I do like this.

Oh btw, and I have two "haiku" posted that are really not haiku because they were not actual observations.
 — housepoppy

I think more than observations, haiku need to be nature inclined, or at least use nature as a metaphor. Traditional haiku however, do not use metaphor or any sort of comparisons. What is written is what is meant, although symbolism does feature very heavily in them.
