Submarines probably can't be seen, but we might find them with sonar, or possibly with a magnetic anomaly detector of some kind.

Sonar
How are submarines detected under the sea?
The primary method of detection of submerged submarines is sonar. We also see magnetic anomaly detectors used at close range.
How does the US track foreign submarines in your waters?
With other submarines, ships and aircraft. Possibly also with detectors that sit on the bottom of the ocean and transmit a signal when a sub is detected.
Why do submarines hide if they are detected by radar systems?
Submarines will retreat to the depths if they are detected by radar. Note that radar can only detect a submarine if they are on the surface or if they have a mast or periscope sticking up out of the water. Radar has a terrible time trying to penetrate water, so if a submarine is detected because something is sticking up out of the water, the submarine will submerge to get some depth. Radar can't detect it down there. Also, the submarine will be trying to get out of the area and become "lost" in the ocean where it cannot be detected or located.
Can a radar repeater detect submerged submarines?
Not easily, and frankly with today's periscopes, it's almost impossible; you'd have better luck spotting it visually. All modern submarine masts on submarines used by most navies are coated with radar absorption materials specifically to avoid being detected by radar of any kind.
The Hunt for Red October What was New Russian Propulsion System?
It was reffered to as a "caterpiller" in the film. Basically, it's a type of silent jet for use in submarines. It makes no noise so it can't be detected by passive sonar.
What are the two types of submarines that the US Navy operates?
1. Ballistic submarines 2. Attack submarines
