No. Cars don't walk. Submarines don't swim. You can call it navigation if you want but words have meaning.

Spinning propellers is "moving parts of the [submarines] body"

No they aren't. Of course you cans also call it's sonar eyes but it isn't.

Anthropomorphizing cars doesn't make them humans either.
