#3 This is by definition what submarines do. The run under the surface where they can't be seen (stealth) and look at stuff that doesn't know it's being looked at (spying).
It's the getting away with it part that's hard.

I'd sure like to know how the sub sent out that report.

#7 Wouldn't an occasional flyover provide the same info? You can't exactly hide ships and aircraft on a barren island with one landing field.

1. Surface
2. Open hatch
3. Release homing pigeon

Of course, following the steps in order is important. :-)

#9 Poorly chartered waters and unplanned high speed encounters? Remember the USS San Francisco (SSN-711) back in 2005? Luckily our ship made it home -- their's did not.
