You could run a buoy to the surface on a fiber optic cable, and a transceiver could communicate with a satellite. When you're done, the buoy could be reeled in as it's air was let out. Obviously, such things are secret activities, so the Navy wouldn't advertise them. Especially if the sub communication myth needed to be preserved to support building a big ELF transmitter. But it's hard to believe that SOME kind of technology for communicating with submerged submarines doesn't exist.
