Promptly 4 and 5

Acrostic Underwater

Acrostic Underwater

A submarine,
Chrysalis and carapace,
Regnant monarch of the deep,
Ominous hulk in midnight rise to
Surface of the heaving seas,
Turreted your looming tower,
Isolated, far from home,
Concealed your mission ‘neath the foam.

U-boat menace
Nautical,
Down beneath historic waters,
Ever seeking, ever hungry,
Relentless are your hunting ways,
Where the whales their songs do sing,
Aquatic beasts of common aim,
There the chartless roads you roam,
Endless creatures of the ocean
Ride beneath the rising wave.

Prompt: Underwater.
Note: As much as I detest acrostics, the submarine wanted this one.
