Are there any techniques to resupply a sub completely under water?
Would be fascinating if it could be managed and resupplied kind of
like a space station with rotating crews and all, being sent in
smaller submarines docking at the big one.

If there is some way to resupply while submerged they aren't talking
about it.

Probably top secret!

Without a doubt. My friend who served on a nuke didn't talk much about the
mission. While they frequently wound up in Holy Loch they also went into
other ports like Norfolk. You can't really keep a u-boat coming into port
a secret but they certainly didn't want anyone setting their watch by the
return of the USS Baitfish every three months.

At least we owe GPS to the nukes to some extent. If you're going to launch
a ballistic missile you have to know where you are.  Some things you can't
keep secret:

We sailed past about 2 miles off shore and the rumble of what I assume
were the generators sounded like you were going to be run over by a
lobster boat any moment. (lobstermen favor very large engines with minimal
exhaust systems).  Of course it's on the nautical charts as a prominent
landmark.
