hmm…what about other idea from world war two…mini-subs…maybe unmanned, carried to designation by a special mini-sub carrier, and launch them from afar…

Actually, these remote minisubs are already being used extensively for much deep-ocean research.

The US Navy uses USVs that they can launch from their 688i n seawolf class subs' torpedo tubes to use as offboard sensors. In otherwords, they can active ping away from the submarine, allowing them to detect enemy submarines without compromising their own submarine.

I would say that this kinda technology would be particularly useful when navigating minefields where high frequency sonar is required.
