#3  "Another danger was that the sub might simply be frozen in place with no way out and no way to call for help as food and other supplies dwindled."

If you are hovering under ice with no current, Won't you melt the ice above eventually? You could dump steam if you had to. (I'm guessing here)

#2  If you can find it and like Cold War true stories of subs doing sneaky stuff, see if you can find a book named "Blind Mans Bluff". Highly recommended.
