Submarines are useless. Let's fix that.

It is still inferior one-on-one to a battleship, even if it is the one
attacking. However, all other ships should face defeat against it. As it
should be, as long as it is the attacker.

I also intend to complete the port attacks patch (see other mail), which
will enable sub attacks against ships in cities without the protection of
costal.

If these changes are done, I will code AI support for 'em, too...
