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.
On the other hand, there's probably no use for that capability, but its an interesting thought experiment to see if it could then remain submerged for years at a time.
