All modern submarines typically have a food stores loadout of 90 days (i.e., enough food onboard for the crew for 90 days), though that's usually not the case unless an extended submerged deployment is ordered. Normal operations for Fast-Attack submarines generally keep them in port often enough to replenish stores used while at sea, and FBM submarines normally deploy for 90 days so they have a 90-120 day loadout before they leave.
For Fast-Attacks going on longer deployments, enough fresh, frozen, and canned stores are brought aboard to cover at least 90 days for all crew members aboard. It can get pretty packed in some boats; there's never enough room for everything, so canned stuff usually gets secured on the decks in various spaces, and you have to walk on them until it gets used.
In extreme circumstances, submarines can be resupplied at sea, though it's a very rare occurrence. If a boat is in an operational area where they can't be resupplied easily, rationing will take place until such time as supplies can be replenished.
As an example, during our '86 trip to the Arctic/North Pole, we lost our freezers about 2 weeks out. One of the Arctic Ice Stations we surfaced near helped us replenish our lost food stores. To this day, I will rarely eat ham and cheese Sandwiches, since that's about all we had.
5lb cans of coffee are arguably the most precious item brought aboard, as coffee is just something a sailor can't do without.

When was sub marine invented?
Designs for underwater boats or submarines date back to the 1500s and ideas for underwater travel date back even further. However it was not until the 19th century that the first useful submarines began to appear. The Confederates States launched the H.L. Hunley in 1863, during the Civil War. This submarine sank the U.S.S. Housatonic in the first successful submarine attack on a warship, but was lost with all hands a short time later. It wasn't until after World War I began that the first truly practical and modern submarines were constructed.
