    IMO it's better www.submarine.com/yellow-submarine,
    but it's even better with their own subdomain: yellow.submarine.com

    A tip for all DP users. When you write a URL on your post and don't want to be displayed as a live link,
    simply enclose it with [plain] and [/plain]
    So for example: If you write [plain]www.submarine.com/yellow-submarine[/plain],
    the post will display: www.submarine.com/yellow-submarine without making a live link.

    You should create your url based on the content that you are going to put inside the page.

    since you want to optimize for the keyword yellow sbumarine, and your domain already has submarine, i guess a /yellow will make a nice reading as far as seo is conserned!:)

    /yellow-submarine.
    yellow.submarine.com will make it a total new domain that you have to build links again for.
