Actually the WWII boats were the definition of submersibles not submarines, designed to be used on the surface and only submerge for attack or to hide.

There are a few other non-nuke subs out there dating back to WWII actually, the Germans had actually built true subs just ran out of time in the war to perfect them. Other countries have used that technology since with success.

Btw, this talk of submersible kayaks, should go look at the current posts on the Techniques section of this forum, Squirt boat topic, cool vid posted by Mike, kayaks spending most of the time underwater.
