Not a trireme.
It is said the prototype has been rowed, but not sure.

No, not a weapon. Not even armed if texts are correct.

Yes, though the thing as pictured in the sketch was not built, only a smaller prototype for test purposes. This smaller one is said to have been able to submerge indeed (AND surface).

^ that would have been a perfect idea, able to submerge and surface but via a line, while all thinking it is a submarine ..

But it was indeed some meters long and intended to be some kind of submarine.
