I believe you are referring to Composite Submarines- a noun clause. a composite submarine has one parent sub- (that"s another question) launch a smaller assault or other submarine carried in tandem. the idea is somewhat similar to the Composite Bomber idea that was experimented with by the British in the interwar era- the Maia-Mercury Composite, for example- and the practical launch of a Space Shuttle- albeit a drop test- from a Boeing 747 as a lifting aircraft. the idea is similar- two subs superimposed, one of course having a longer range. I am not aware of any current USN activity in this field it is always possible. the Parent craft would have to be modified with hatches, etc. it is an intriguing idea. I believe some of the minisubs that were piloted by Sylvia Earle were launched submerged from regular subs- how this was done I am not sure, look her up! Good luck.
