I've wondered about this.  I called them and asked, long ago.
They told me that they had no rules for submarines, as long
as the submarines were not carrying passengers for money.

But the rules may have changed a bit.  I kinda doubt it.

In the late 60s, there was a Bill before the U.S. Congress -- I
forget which house -- concerning licensing of submarine pilots
and crew.  It went no where.
