To make the sub smaller I think using some heavy bit of machinery to roll it 
flat would be better than sending it down into the ocean. If you get it thin 
enough you can then fold or roll it neatly and stick that into a suitcase.

Another method might be to fill it up with helium so that it floats like a 
balloon then let it go so it flies up into a jetstream that heads right over 
Vancouver, When it gets to Vancouver you could have a radiobea
