Does Japanese have a commonly used term for submarine sandwich/roll?

Australian English doesn't have a term AFAIK (the only places that sell such
things in Australia are the Subway franchise), and I was wondering if the same
was true for Japanese.

I couldn't spot it in jisho.org and the English edition of Wikipedia's article
on submarine sandwiches didn't have a Japanese inter-language link. I came
across "サブマリーンサンドイッチ" on Weblio but I don't know how authentic it is.

Japanese for submarine sandwich
If you shouted 「サブマリンサンドイッチ」 in my neighborhood, no one except me and perhaps
another person would know what you were saying. That word would **not** be in
the vocabulary of over 5% of our population. (The 「サンドイッチ」 part, I asure you,
would be understood by virtually 100% of us.)

If you want to talk about a submarine sandwich, you would probably have to
describe it like:

「[大]{おお}きいアメリカンタイプのサンドイッチ」

「大きくて[長]{なが}いサンドイッチ」

「サブウェイで[売]{う}ってるような（長い）サンドイッチ」
